Side Effects of Attachment Disorders (Part 1) Introduction. - Blog Entry

26 Mar 2006 08:11 AM

Anna I am reading your blog on attachment disorders. I recognise you are writing from the perspective of an adoptive parent. What you are listing is very much what my daughter is going through since her sister committed suicide. Also at the same time, sorry prior to this my wife decided to unset the apple cart by moving out of the house and taking my children with her including two foster children.

Since my daughter passed away, my youngest daughter has steadily thrown her education down the drain, is constantly lying has played one against the other and has always made sure she is in front for everything. Today, her fifteenth birthday she was arrested for stealing her mothers car and caught in the act by the police. This not being the first time she has stolen the car.

So my question is; can these effects enhanced by others be caused within the mainstay family rather than in the adoptive child, purely because of the infringement of the adoptive child on the space of the mainstay family. Something I have felt is the case.
