"A" was making a lot of progress to the point where *I* was starting to feel attached, but then she nosedived bigtime in the last 2 weeks. It is so hard for her and so hard for the rest of us to experience all the negatives and the behaviors and to wonder about the progress we had made. And she was the one who was doing BETTER. I think summer has been hard on everyone and perhaps that is affecting you, too? We are also seeing an attachment therapist now and rereading many attachment books late at night and talking about things endlessly when the kids are in bed and we wish we could be kicking back with fewer challenges to worry over but find ourselves sleepless and coming back to our concerns over and over again. I am going to Orlando next March to have a retreat with other moms struggling with similar issues. I am trying (when I can get up the energy and will, like you) to share some of what we're trying and doing on our blog and hope you will, too, since we can all help each other. Rereading "The Connected Child" has been helpful. I met up with two other WACAP parents a few weeks ago, and one was saying the same thing about not feeling able to vent because others think we brought this on ourselves. And we did, but that doesn't mean we don't need a ton of support. You have mine. I'm going to email you my number...call anytime!<br /><br />MeganMRKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273667096816207202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008485039747122373.post-2004839070166592172011-07-12T06:57:45.130-07:002011-07-12T06:57:45.130-07:00Thank you.

I'm not sure if one of my sons truly has an attachment disorder or not, but I do know that I am having (and he is having) a much harder time attaching (and getting along in general) than I am with the other one. I am looking forward to your posts.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01620535027376861239noreply@blogger.com
