I have posted to this sub a couple of times regarding my 3 year old son. I was concerned about him having mental disorders associated with his bio family. I recently found out that his issues steam from anxious and ambivalent attachment.I feel terrible for not knowing that this was happening to my baby boy and am scared for what the future may hold. I was told that I needed to stop using timeouts because kids with anxious attachment struggle with being alone and can't take the withdrawal of attention. It says that kids with anxious attachment often are good liars and manipulators when they get older. I am more scared about ambivalent attachment though. It is associated with intense rage which my son has. It is often misdiagnosed as ODD and the kids tend to take an interest in fire, gore, and death as they get older.We are going to start therapy as soon as we can. I am scared that it will make things worse but I feel like I am out of options. I wish I would have known what was going on sooner. He is struggling more and more each day and I know it's my fault. I'm hoping someone has some experience. Even if our lives won't ever be normal, does it get better. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2CzpZah
