[quote=Anonymous]Would you consider teletherapy with providers who probably don't take insurance and are not in this area but are amazing with these issues?  I have a child with serious attachment and abandonment issues and had to go out of this area to find treatment.

From a parent who has dealt with this, please don't judge her parents' reactions.  There are so few resources and it is a hard and scary road to travel.  Those of us in this situation do the best that we can.  Sometimes there is denial and sometimes what looks like denial is just us trying to figure out what it is that we're seeing so we can figure out the next steps.  Also, probably what you are seeing is the tip of the iceberg and maybe home life is worse.

As much as I hate to say this, it will probably get worse until their daughter is ready for treatment and she will probably require really intense treatment.  But, in the meantime, if you can figure out a way for your families to be safe around each other and for you to help your kids understand that it isn't personal, your sister will probably really appreciate you.  Kids aren't that judgmental most of the time, so that part might be pretty easy.  And, it's a lonely road so if you can, stay with your sister.  [/quote]
