 |  My son's recovery from severe abuse and the horrors of Attachment Disorder |
|
This is a record of our journey toward healing for our adopted son. He is a victim of severe neglect and abuse from birth to age three. He came to us, at that time, as a foster child. A year later, we adopted him. We knew he had serious problems, but we had no idea the cause or the cure. We only knew that, if we did not adopt him, he would spend his life "in the system" and end up as a criminal. Later, when we did learn the source of his problem behavior, we shuddered at what we were told. Many of these children go untreated and become the Ted Bundys and the Jeffery Dahmers of the world—literally. We had no idea we were rescuing him from such a horrible destiny. We only knew we loved him. My mission is to tell the world about this terrible disorder that affects so many foster and adopted children. This journal is a record of our struggles to find the solution to his behavior problems, our many failures before finding the name of the disorder, and our journey of healing. These entries will be, in large part, reports I have written for each therapy session so that the therapist will know how our week has been. Our wonderful hero/therapist is Dr. Susan B. Corbin.
