First - you need to care for yourself, as ay child with reactive attachment disorder can make home life completely crazy! In my experience with RAD, the parents take the brunt of the criticism and the blame for their child's behaviors. I went through it and know many others who have as well. In fact, I wrote a free guide for parents and caregivers. If you would like a copy you can request one. It is titled 'The Ten things you Need to Know to Stay Sane!'
Most importantly, you must allow yourself room to feel.. even if your feelings are difficult. There is help and hope for your child, but it can come at a high cost [emotionally and financially] to your family. The guide spells out some important things to remember about your child and his beliefs and behaviors. It is not his fault... it is a tragic under development of his brain function that keeps him from trusting you. The best thing you can do with these children is to not get sucked in to their emotionally manipulative games, and to stay firm and consistent in your messages of love and trust to him. Also - finding a competent therapist is a must to help him 'rebuild' his own life story about why he feels the way he does, as well as teaching him appropriate behaviors and reactions to others.

How can a parent learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder?
A parent can learn the risks of having a child with a genetic disorder by looking at their own history. A genetic disorder is... da da da da! Genetic! so the traits of this disorder would be passed down through the generations. If both parents have family members with the trait or if the disorder is a dominant trait then there is a high chance of the disorder being passed down to the child. If the trait is recessive and only one parent has the genetic disorder in their family history then there are some pretty low chances of it being passed along to the child. Even if the trait is recessive, if both parents have the diorder in their history then there is about a 50% chance of the child having the disorder.

My friend has severe anger problems ADD mild OCD paranoia and now Attachment Disorder and also self harms What does Attachment Disorder in a teenage boy mean?
ADD, OCD, and Attachment Disorder are all syndromes. Syndromes are categories of symptoms, often behavioral symptoms. Self Harm (aka cutting) and "severe anger problems" are not syndromes alone, but may be related the same causal factors as Attachment Disorder, or they may not. To begin with, he may be misdiagnosed. Also, a diagnosis does not point to a specific cause. For example, ADD is a set of behavioral symptoms which can be observed and rated in their frequency and intensity, however, there can be multiple causes for ADD, or multiple factors which contribute to the cause of ADD. Attachment Disorder is usually diagnosed in early childhood as Reactive Attachment Disorder with two subtypes, in general, the first is where the child becomes too attached too quickly, or child seems inappropriately outgoing with strangers, the other, thechild seems too withdrawn and not trusting of parents or caregivers with whom a child would normally be expected to trust and bond. A male teenager with "attachment disorder" may be charming, promiscuous, may have difficulty with reciprocity, may initiate social contact for selfish ends, may have difficulty expressing deeper thoughts of feelings, or they may be the opposite, distant, aloof, withdrawn, appear "shy," or lack interest in close relationships, and generally not trust people. The natural course of Attachment Disorder is complicated. A child who suffers from RAD may grow up to be a normal functioning adult, or experience a range of personal and interpersonal problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy would probably be the most effective form of psychotherapy to help someone suffering from this problem. CBT would include exploring the person's past history of attachment problems as well as address current interpersonal problems. Other psychotherapies such as psychoanalytic types may help, too, but they tend to lack the structure, clear goals, time efficiency, and need for behavioral changes that people often desire most.
Working with children with reactive attachment disorder?
Reactive Attachment Disorder is a severe developmetal disorder primarily caused by early chronic maltreatment within a care-giving relationship. The American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV describes two subtypes:Inhibited (if there is a persistent failure to initiate or respond in a developmentally appropriate fashion to most social interactions, as manifested by excessively inhibited, hypervigilant, or highly ambivalent and contradictory responses.)Disinhibited (if there is diffuse attachments as manifested by indiscriminate sociability with marked inability to exhibit appropriate selective attachments.These problems cannot be accounted for by mental retardation and do not meet the criteria for Pervasive Developmental Disorder.The DSM requires that there has been pathogenic care (child abuse, neglect, or prolonged institutional care).Treatment for this condition is complex and requires specialized care, for example Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, which is an evidence-based, effective, and empirically supported treatment (Becker-Weidman, A., & Hughes, D., (2008) "Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy: An evidence-based treatment for children with complex trauma and disorders of attachment," Child & Family Social Work, 13, pp.329-337.)

How can a child have a disorder when the father does not?
It depends on the disorder, but if the child has it and the father doresn't, it most likely means that the disorder was dominant and not recessive. Therefore, the mother would have had to at least have some history of having the disorder.
