Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) in Babies, Children and Adults!

I made this video for Beth Edwards! A very special lady who has developed RAD because of constant orphanages and foster homes while growing up! Watch with open eyes if you care for any child in this world!

I learned to overcome this. I figured out that there was something wrong with me at a very early age. I realized I had no attachment to my parents, and that I was short on emotional caring for others. It is NOT a sentence of doom; with love, at any age, we can conquer this. No, I cannot allow my self to be dependant upon another person, but I have loves, I do care. I just have a much easier time letting go.

@jelly434 You clearly don't have a clue at all what reactive attachment disorder really is and the effects it has on not only the child, but the family caring for him/her. Search in youtube "Child of Rage" (the HBO documentary, not the movie. Its less than 30 minutes long) and then do some research on Beth Thomas and the person she has become today. It helps to educate yourself. “The greatest ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about”. VERY true.

@jelly434 great over simplification. My son has RAD. I am not a crap mother. Life sometimes hands you a shitty deal and makes for shitty circumstances. Placing blame is the cheapest, and most unhelpful tactic of the misinformed and shortminded.

You obviously never had to deal with a child with RAD. I HAVE it is a disorder and most of these children if they do not get treatment, will end up being serial killers. You need to do some research and understand what happens to these children!!!

[jelly434]

This 'disorder' can be summed up without the waffle very simply; crap parents = understandably cynical children.

Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, when you look at what some children have to deal with.

Learning early on in life that people are arseholes is sad, but I'd hardly class it as a mental illness, and I certainly wouldn't suggest therapy, the main purpose of which is to make money for the therapist.

There is no attachment because these missed critical training. A child abaondoned who missed maternal or paternal attachment will never nor have to bond with caregivers who pass through. Pitched children do not have to attach themselves to strangers whom will not stay nor show promise nor legal capasity to rule an order towards a child's individual needs.

Therapy is fabulous, and am surprized that the child servived her parental abandonment. It is usual to find kids scapegoats for adults.

Very touching video. I'm glad you are bringing awareness to this problem. It's good for teachers to be aware of this too and not get frustrated with hard to handle kids. Love goes a long ways.

we have to find a way to love ourselves even if our parents didn't. Stay strong.
