Reactive Attachment Disorder Support

Below is a chart of RAD Resources for Adults/Parents with children with reactive attachment disorder.

But what about adults who have been abandoned and abused by their parents? What sort of networking resources are there for adults with attachment and trust-issues? This section is dedicated to the adult who has difficulty trusting others because he/she was neglected, abused or abandoned during childhood.

Personal Inner Loss

Kerry — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 21:05:49 -0700

I began my study of Adoption & its affect on human behavior over five years ago. It (the carnage) had no name that read: Reactive Attachment Disorder. To this day, I still challenge the act and process that describes a system that has broken the lives and families of billions of babies. Adoption , as it exists, requires more adaptations to more people than it is worth!

Do you see yourself as a "loser"?

Kerry — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 12:57:37 -0600

let's talk about sex, baby

Kerry — Sat, 03 Feb 2007 04:44:39 -0700

I've been reading some of the posts from the RAD I had help moderate. This one really hit home, for me. HA! Get it??? "hit", "struck me hard"... I kill myself with my inside jokes sometimes... anyhoo.. the topic is Rough Sex and the person with Attachment Disorders. Do they go hand-in-hand? If so, why?

Kerry — Sun, 25 May 2008 04:50:22 -0600

* Yes\n* Not at all\n* Only if I know I am looking my best; I don't like pictures that make me look bad or ugly or give me a false-image\n* \n* \n

The Detached Path

Kerry — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:08:43 -0600

Fate's free will to survive and thrive.

The choices we make determine the person we become. But what about "the choices" that were made FOR us, setting us on a path detached and isolated from all that's safe and familiar? How and why does misery stay alive for so long, when no one really wants to feel the discomforts of pain?

Primal Beings: Rage and Detachment

Kerry — Mon, 12 May 2008 07:45:58 -0600

I have two types of friends: one type thinks and re-thinks everything to death; the other type lives life without doing much heavy thinking because feelings guide their actions.

I'm stuck in the middle, over-thinking my feelings, afraid to do any living that brings me personal happiness. I have been trained to accept crap as a life-long condition, and as long as I detach from the pain, I'm ok.

The Language of the Adult RAD

Kerry — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 14:24:47 -0700

I found a very interesting and telling link about adults with RAD, and it came as no surprise to me when I read the following question about unresolved Adult RAD:

Every message I see is about adults, who have children, with RAD.

Since I dont have children, or a boyfriend, or a husband, I'm clearly not looking for help for my kids, or anyone else..............except for myself. Are there ANY treatment centers for adults with unresolved RAD, in the Baltimore area?
