I adopted my daughter when she was 4. She started having seizuers soon after she was part of the family. Her seizure medicine was also an anti-psychotic medicine that, I believe, masked her attachement disorder issues. When she was 7, all seizure activity was gone and we started to take her off her medicine. About 6 months after we started to see heightened attachment disorder behaviors....lies, stealing, sweet as a button to strangers, out of control behavior, kicking holes in the wall. I had to call the police on her twice, put her in the hospital twice, and after a year of out patient treatment for her, she was placed in residential treatment facility.
Just this summer in June, we tried to transition her back to our home and by the fourth day she had an outbreak of anger that ended in her going back to the facility.
I am sad, as I don't think she will ever be able to return to our home. It is very hard to be a mom to a child that isn't in your home.
Anyone else going through something like this? I would like to have people share and become a support for one another.
If interested, I guess you can blog back. I am new at all of this.
