Is there other's out there? RAD.

In retrospect, my "daughter," was clinically diagnosed with "RAD" (Reactive Attachment Disorder) "Ininhibited." This was at age 17. Never got treatment, and is the reason for her leaving my son and their two children, and immediately immersing herself into a polly amorous relationship. I know this to be true. We ignored this diagnosis because we thought just giving her love and trust would be enough. It was not. She continues to ignore her condition and chooses to remain in present relationship rather than reestablish her relationship with her children, husband, or us, (her mom and dad.) She wants her cake and eat it too. But that's not reality.
Anyone else here with personal experience in such a disorder?

It's very sad but honestly, your time investment is better spent on your son and grand children. They need you more. DIL, is in self destructive mode and will eventually self implode. You all may one day, try to pick the pieces up, but she was DOA, before she married your son. May God, bless her. He will always love and look after her. She did leave a miraculous, parting gift. The damage has been done and things will never be the same.

Try to focus on healing the after effects of this family nuclear attack.

The long term devastating effects, will once again, continue a very vicious cycle of destruction. You have a very short time frame and window of opportunity, to turn this ship around! May God continue, to bless your family! ❤️🙏

@Oster1 👍👍🙋‍♀️Nailed It! Thank you. We will follow this path and only focus on our son and grandchildren. She's an adult and must live with her choices and consequences.
