  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  I blew it this morning. Or blew up. Whatever you want to call it. Taz was in his usual wild flying high morning mode. Teddy kept putting himself in front of him. I finally lost it and turned into a raving lunatic. This resulted in complete silence on Tazs part and complete anger and RAD feelings on Teddys part. ...

  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  I had some kind of a sinus bug on Friday. This morning my husband and Fish woke up with it. Taz, Teddy and I went to church by ourselves. Right before church Teddy said he was going to come and sit with me so I wouldnt have to sit alone. Very thoughtful. Then he left an empty chair in between us??????????? Doggone it ...

• Some times you just get through it!

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  I was thinking about Peggy Sues comment yesterday about not having any decorations up and her kids still reacting to Christmas. Where does all the fear come from? Here are my guesses. 1. Old memories of Christmas past, some bad, are stirred up. 2. The kids at school are wired. I think my kids feed off of that ...

• Stop the madness!!

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  Some regression going on here. It is expected during the Christmas season. Doesnt make it much easier now does it. We went to Fishs first swim meet of the season last night. I stopped ahead and bought Subway before left. Part way through the meet Dad runs out and gets it out of the car. I know Teddy ALWAYS gets a ham ...

• What a pill!

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  I figured out that Taz has not been taking his meds. These are meds for some conditions other than RAD. We use a pill dispenser exactly like the one above. He would go into the kitchen and juggle them around to make the spot for the day empty so it looked like he took it. I started watching the container and figured ...

• Attachment Theory

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  One thing I have learned in the classes I am taking is that there are many theoretical schools in counseling. Many of them do not believe in dealing with past issues but focus more on solutions, family structure or current problems and how they effect your life. These are very important theories. For certain ...

• Growing Pains

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  Taz is in the midst of his growth spurt. He is almost 15 and is not quite 54". At the beginning of the school year he was about 52". Im guessing by the end of this year he will grow a couple more inches and then a couple for each of the next 2 years. That is the pattern Teddy has followed anyway. What this means is ...

• Fitting In

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  Do you know how it is if you try a club, church, or even a place of employment and you just dont feel like you fit in? I feel like a fish out of water in those situations. Our children face this daily everywhere they go. We try to so hard to have them feel fully accepted at home. Kids at school can be a different ...

• The Sweetness After the Holidays

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  I remember this even when RAD was rampant in our home. We arrived home from Thanksgiving on Saturday. The boys immediately relaxed. There was an unusual quietness in our home. There was relief on their faces. I love those times because it shows they feel safe in our home. If you get those after holiday sweet ...

• The Blind Side

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  We are back from a wonderful Thanksgiving with my side of the family. The diet went down the tubes within 5 minutes of walking in the door. I did go walking a couple of times and walked when I got back home but Id probably have to walk to California and back to walk off what I ate. While we were at my moms we all ...

• Deborah Hage

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  I love Deborah Hage. Her books are informative about parenting but also give you some real back ground on how the trauma has effected our child. She does it in language that I can understand. Im not big on psychobabble. She has a website full of helpful articles. Pay her a visit! I also wanted to provide a link ...

• Hate & Your Potential for Relapse

  
  Sanctuary for the Abused — Authority: 129
  by Sandra L. Brown, MA When women tell me " Thats IT! I will never, ever, ever talk to him again. I HATE HIM! " I begin looking at my watch to see how long it takes for her to talk to him again. Why do I think her contact/ relapse is imminent? Because HATE is passion. Anything that feels that impassioned or has ...

• Marriage

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  Having a special needs child is so tough on a marriage. Even a really strong one. Triangulation: Kids with RAD will reject and defy mom while turning on the charm for dad and everyone else. Mom often looks inept, over involved or harsh. DADS! Do not let your child come between you and your wife. Let your child ...

• If your oxygen mask drops..........

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  When a flight attendant does her little speech when you first get on a plane she tells you that if your oxygen mask drops to please put on and adjust your own mask before assisting others. What if you were in an emergency and you ignored this instruction? This is a great metaphor for moms. We tend to take care of the ...

  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  In my side bar it describes Bear as our child that we are hoping will some day turn into a Teddy Bear. The day has come! I have almost given up hope so many times. No.....I have given up hope many times. After our incident last Friday night life has been different here. I feel I can honestly say he has taken that ...

  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  Come on! Admit it! Now and then your little RADling says something hilarious. Taz came home in a foul mood today and Im getting the brunt of it. He refused to talk to me. He comes and sits down at dinner. Me: So tell me what is going on that you are treating me like crap today. Taz : Im not treating you like ...

• Family Sculpting

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 126
  In a couple of my classes we have learned a technique called family sculpting. Now remember I am still just a student and not a professional so this is mom advice. It is not professional advice or opinion. Family sculpting is when you have the family all stand together in one room. You have a family member have ...
