I needed a laugh, I wrote this, please take it as it is meant to be, a joke. If you want to be serious about it please don't bother leaving your serious comments here, your giggles and additions though are most appreciated and welcome
On the 1st day of Christmas my RADish gave to me their left shoe in a dead tree
On the 2nd day of Christmas my RADish gave to me two broken doors
On the 3rd day of Christmas my RADish gave to me three temper tantrums
On the 4th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me four shouted insults
On the 5th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me five purple bruises
On the 6th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me six time-ins
On the 7th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me seven bouts of sobbing
On the 8th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me eight times-a-tattling
On the 9th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me nine pee puddles
On the 10th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me ten boys-a-screaming
On the 11th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me eleven cups of spilled milk
On the 12th day of Christmas my RADish gave to me twelve signs of healing
PS I don't technically have a RADish but writing out traumatized child with attachment issues did not have the same ring to it.

I laughed! I also like the last one best. Even though they're sometimes hard to see, they are there and when we see them happening, we'll all get up and dance on the tables together over them!
Really, though, what does it matter what it's called? If it walks like RAD and talks like RAD and pees like RAD and pulls the antics of RAD that only RAD can pull, it's probably RAD. No matter what fancy name people give to it to try to soften the blow, it is what it is and it sucks buckets. In reality RAD is a spectrum disorder that ranges from insecure attachment on the light end to full blown personality disorders on the other. But, it's still all RAD. So, we might as well embrace it and keep right on singing about it. At least the singing keeps us smiling and sane. :-)
Love this - though I'm humming the tune around the boys and skipping the hysterical RADical lyrics when they are in earshot.
Mine would be 1 sign of healing and 12 ways to deny it, but I love your song!
