Hello to all. I am a step-mom to a 9 yr. old boy who suffers from many mental illnesses but the most difficult one of all is "RAD" or Reactive Attachment Disorder. I am just looking for others who may be in the same boat as I or at least in the same body of water. It is very hard to be a step parent to a child with this many issues especially when they push you away and blame you for everything. If there are any other parents of children with special needs out there I would really love to hear from you. I have much to learn and lots to give.

hello. I am sorry that I can't help you with any advice, but there is a couple of folders you may want to check out in the Health and Fitness section. Check them out, they may have some advice for you there.
Take care.
