[quote=Anonymous]Long story by my sister adopted a little girl at 3 after she was abandoned by her drug addicted parents. This little girl who is now almost 9 went from being very withdrawn to demanding and extremely manipulative. Without getting into specifics her disturbing behavior has increased so much over the last 2 years that I can no longer bring my children near her because she had hurt them and continues to threaten them with violence. It’s been a difficult decision to keep my children away because my sister are very close as are her other kids with mine. My sister and her husband are smart and understand RAD, but get very defensive of their daughter when incidences arise between our children.

I really want to continue to have a relationship with my sister but this is really coming between us. I would like to talk to a therapist with experience with children with RAD and the family dynamics that are involved. Can anyone please provide some insights or therapists in the DC area?[/quote]
