• Triangulation

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Triangulation is common in kids who have RAD.  It is often mom-dad-child. It can be mom-school-child, mom-grandparent-child or even mom-therapist-child.  Triangulation is when the child acts one way in front of one person and another way in front of the other and builds up an alliance with one against the other. It ...

• Jealousy

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Yesterday Dancer turned 21.  As you know sibling birthdays are tough for kids with RAD.  While they do not want our affection they most definitely want our attention. Negative or positive attention makes no difference as long as they have it. Teddy chose yesterday to ask if we could go shopping to spend his ...

• New Year=New Beginnings

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Im not big on New Years resolutions. I never ever keep them. I do think it is good to set goals in life though. It keeps me "living on purpose" instead of drifting along. I am back at Weight Watchers losing the same old 20 lb that plagues me every few years. What about some RAD review and goals. 2009 was such a mix ...

  Hubby and I are back from our night away. We went to a nice dinner at Olive Garden, had massages at a spa and went to Sherlock Holmes. Just the ticket for some post holiday destressing. Today Dancer and I are going out for her 21st birthday which is actually tomorrow. She is very artistic and all of the little art ...

• Surviving Christmas break

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Whew! We have had some tough days. I have to say I have had many days where I have let my own fears and anger take over and been rude. A chance to practice what I preach and start again.  I have been having my personal quiet times in a book series put out by Women of Faith. This particular book is on Embracing Your ...

• Take a peek into our past

  
  welcome to my brain . net — Authority: 430
  This video was made a year ago, to share with friends and family who wanted to (or needed to) better understand our situation - those who had direct interactions with our children. Marah (her name is Marah, by the way!) has agreed this is a great time to go public with it. We sat and watched it together today, ...

  welcome to my brain . net — Authority: 430
  Twas the night before Christmas and all through the trailer, Not a RADling was pulling out crazy behavior. The stockings were hung. Moms having a cow. She bought nothing to put in them, and its too late now. The siblings were nestled, all snug in the floor watching some TV movie and begging for more. And Mom with ...

• Sometimes we can make it worse

  
  welcome to my brain . net — Authority: 430
  First and foremost, let me get something out of the way - PARENTING TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS ANY HUMAN CAN BE REQUIRED TO DO - EVER. It is hard. It is hard. It is hard, and every single day you will discover that it is quite HARD! Okay, having said all of that, let me ...

• Getting to the bottom of it

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Taz has been wired the last few weeks.  He is angry, defiant and somewhere just above wild.  He is keeping his grades up to As and Bs at school which I love, but is getting detentions, smarting off to teachers and me, and spending time alone in his room. Spending time in your room as a "healthy teen" (there really ...

• Yingy and Yangy

  
  welcome to my brain . net — Authority: 430
  The last two weeks have been SO yingy and yangy in our house ... ebby and flowy ... the goody and the baddy. We downplay Christmas as it is, but with children who are attaching, even more so. Usually special occasions/events/holidays are a time when we just buckle down and ride the hurricane. Then, on the other ...

• You are a great mom!

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  I would hear that when my girls were little. When our boys came Id hear it sometimes but also got the eye rolls, the glares and the looks of shock when we were out and about. When pushing the cart through the grocery store, Taz then 3, would roll off a string of words that would make a sailor blush.  When at the play ...

  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124

• What Healing Looked Like

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  I can only tell you what the beginnings of healing looked like in our boys. They both have a long way to go. Small stressors in life are triggers that send them back into the fearful behaviors.  I love the above photo. It reminds me of how beautiful my children are. They live in the cold world of fear. They are ...

• Art work and RAD

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  The above picture is one Teddy drew 2 or 3 years ago.  It shows the need to protect.  When I first started seeing this type of artwork and finding small home made sharpened weapons I was really afraid. After talking extensively in therapy we really felt it was not for aggression. It was for defense.  He always ...

• Caught on tape

  
  welcome to my brain . net — Authority: 430
  This video is probably going to be many things to many people. There are a few parents who will literally breathe a sigh of relief to know its not just their kids. Sometimes, the way our children hold on to an obvious lie can cause us to really think that maybe WE are going crazy. This is actually just one tiny ...

• Its a Brand New Day!

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Every morning is a fresh start. Isnt that FANTASTIC!?! I work hard to restart my attitude, take time for a quiet time and rejoice that we get to try this again. I tell my kids "Its a new day. Lets start over and make it great". Sometimes they do. Sometimes they dont. We have 18" of snow in Nebraska. It is something ...
