She's for sure, a crazy old bat.

&quot;It takes an extreme toll,&quot; says Freeman. &quot;It can cause lifelong issues of distrust, depression, anxiety, extreme control issues and very rigid behavior. They don't trust anyone; they have very low self-esteem. They'll push away teachers and friends and potential parents and if you put them in another placement and they have to reattach again and then if they lose that placement, it gets tougher and tougher.&quot;</span></span>

If it was their birth child the reactive attachment disorder would not have been an issue. When a child has been abandoned (ie to the orphanage) and then has to adjust to a new family, the older the child, the greater the issues with attachment. How were the children treated in the orphanage being one of many kids? The younger the child, the easier the attachment.

I am sure she really tried but realised she did not have what it takes to parent the girls.
