I have a child that I gave up for adoption who has RAD (reactive attachment disorder). It was very hard for me to make the decision to do this alone, no one knew at the time that he had this. It can be caused from many different things, though I know why he has it now, and I accept that I am the one to...

That's really tough. I totally understand your accepting some of the blame, but you could just as easily blame your genetics (ie., parents) for putting you in the position of having a chemical imbalance that wasn't being managed well by medication. That was the impetus for turning towards adoption as the solution. And adoption programs are designed for circumstances like yours. You did what should have been best, with the hope of providing him with a better life than you could provide. If the results in your case were common, they would institute laws against adoptions during certain ages or provide more resources to help parents who are struggling with parenthood. That's not the case, at least not yet. It's really just very unfortunate luck that your child developed this. And the most stable home life never guarantees there won't be problems. So, in the end, don't blame yourself or weigh yourself down with guilt. Don't blame anyone else. The past isn't going to change. Stay positive about who you are now and what you can be in the future. Be open to circumstance or possibility that may come your way. Put yourself in the position to be ready for it.

Thanks for sharing. It is an incredible and sad story. From an outside perspective as someone detached from the entire situation it sounds like you made the right decision, did and are doing the best you can and that you are incredibly strong.
Schools back in session, which means back to the books! Im excited about my classes, and my teachers seem nice. Im serving at a restaurant in Nashville, and have been for about 6 months. I like it most of the time. Ive been told we will be slow during the winter months, and I think that will give me a chance to really concentrate on...

We all got fired. All of us. This is so unjust. Whole Foods Market was listed as one of the top 100 best places to work. After my experience there, I will be honest. i started out loving my job when it was still wild oats. Whole Foods came in and promised us oaties so many things, and didnt deliver one of them. We didnt see raises, or being in whatever dept we wanted. An easy transition wasnt what we got. When I was on the front end, they did some good things for their employees. Thats because of the high energy, but awesome team leader. He believed in team member happiness. Every other dept. Ive worked in is a mess; but not a mess that starts at the bottom. This one starts at the top. Ones that include team leaders and supervisors. But the people over them are walking around with a blindfold on. Its total fucked up politics at that store and I got bullied around and then fired. Along with 5 others. This investigation was over the excessive free juice in the juicebar. Supervisors, including the team leader, would come back there and make drinks and one supervisor even said one free drink per shift. Other team members who did it just as often if not more still working. 6 hardworking employees, dedicated to making the store look good and keeping it fully stocked, offering to pick up or cover shifts if needed, fired. We all had at least 2.5 yrs experience some even having as much as 5+ yrs. All fired..
mmmm deadmau5, dancing, boyfriend and friends.. what could be better... my nice comfy bed..cant wait..
