YEP.
My daughter is adopted and has “Reactive Attachment Disorder” - basically, loving caregivers freak out her nervous system like an imminent deadly threat. This causes her to sometimes behave violently. Her walls look like Swiss cheese. My arms and my spouse’s arms are frequently bruised from her. Last week she threatened to kill me. In detail. She’s 10.
When we go to the police or ER, we’ve been treated as the problem. We were reported to DHS multiple times. Support is nearly non-existent.

Attempting to access what little supports there are was miserable and slow. The ONLY way we were able to access them was by responding to the threat of more DHS involvement with a lean-in to the camera and saying “good, let’s do it”.
