[QUOTE="Lovelife, post: 702231, member: 20624"] Everything Susie said above is true. It will not get better quickly if ever. Any psychiatrist worth their degrees will tell you this. Attachments must be formed early on, or the chances of them ever forming are pretty slim. This disorder is not like many others that can be helped with therapy. We had to disrupt a foster placement before adopting because of Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). It was just too much, and the hope was very little. We couldn't even find a therapist willing to work with the kiddo... his issues were long term and severe. I realize you are in a different place, but it will be a long long hard road if you chose to travel. I hope you have lots of outside supports in place, and people you can talk to that understand.
