Many parents go through the "I hate you" phase. When raising a child with attachment difficulties, this can be tenfold. I often hear from adoptive & foster parents words like "I hate you," "you're not my mother," "just take me back to foster care/adoption agency," or "I want a new family." Although we may develop thick skin, it's not easy.

In this episode, let's discuss the reason behind the words, the walls we build as parents, and some strategies to build a connection, no matter what your child says.
