This blog is my place to vent and share resources with other parents of children of trauma. I try to be open and honest about my feelings in order to help others know they are not alone. Therapeutic parenting of adopted teenagers with RAD and other severe mental illnesses and issues (plus "neurotypical" teens) , is not easy, and there are time when I say what I feel... at the moment. We're all human!

Check out this cool chart that compares the characteristics of Bipolar, ADHD and RAD. Kitty and Bear are diagnosed with all 3. *sigh*

Thanks for the link! We have 2/3 diagnosed and this helps clear up questions about the 3rd.
