Thank you for sharing
Ann's reaction to the accident wasn't a lack of empathy. It was a response to trauma that she was already used to. RAD can actually be helpful in situations like that. You can be cool as a cucumber so you can survive.
I wonder if Anne might benefit from connection with other people with RAD?
So good! Thanks for sharing! How can I get in touch with you?
I am a survivor of attachment therapy. I was a ward of the state of Washington for 16 years. I was diagnosed RAD at 6 and was in therapy until I finally escaped by running away at the age of 14. They used forced restraint, food control, physical and verbal abuse, sleep deprivation, forced indoctrination, confusion, isolation along with many other barbaric techniques. When I turned 17 I had a child and they took her even against psychiatrist recommendation. They also took the child I had a year and a half later. I did have another child many years later and was able to fight them and won when they tried to take her too. I was also deprived of an education or any future planning and removed at 18 from my ward status with nothing. While I had mental issues the way to help me form attachment or to teach me how to trust was not to spend the whole of my childhood terrorizing me on every level they could think possible. This diagnosis is an excuse for sadistic therapist to torture/break children and traffic them . It has taken me most of my natural life to try heal what they did to me in the name of mental health. I found out recently that this method is still wildly practiced and I want to find a way to stop it. There have been deaths from this practice as recently as 2020. Today I am 42 and I still struggle but I am a survivor. I would be happy to talk to someone about my story as I have a pretty extensive case history and was one of the first on my state. My case set presidence for how these cases are delt with in Washington state today. This is abuse
I am deeply, deeply sorry for what you went through and the loss of your childhood and two of your children. The system is broken and corrupt in many ways. I have 3 adopted children who were abused in foster care before they came to me, but not to the degree you experienced. All 3 were diagnosed with RAD and multiple other diagnoses. I can honestly say in all the years they and I participated in any therapy together when in my care was nothing like what you described. One was restrained a couple times in a hospital while they were being a severe danger to themselves and staff, but when I found out about it I told them if they ever tied my child up again I would sue. Then I got my child removed from that facility. I'm sorry you never had anyone to look out for you or protect you. RAD IS a real diagnosis. It's also on a spectrum like autism and different types. I witnessed and dealt with variances between my 3. The two that wouldn't get help and blamed everyone else and took no responsibility for their choices are the ones who grew up more dysfunctional. Only the one who got quality professional help is doing well.
