Thanks Inezyv. RAD is Reactive Attachment Disorder, which means children have disorganized or no attachment. There is so much that we take for granted in our children that simply comes from them trusting their caregivers (parents.) Most of the people in prisons have RAD. Most of the children in foster care or adopted as older children have it too. Basically these kids knew they couldn't rely on anyone else in their little world.
Thanks so much for your kindness and the link. I will look it up. I appreciate your help and I'm getting so desperate I'll read anything! LOL.
