When Love Is Not Enough: A Memoir of Parenting, Trauma, and Survival
What happens when love alone cannot save a child from their trauma? In When Love Is Not Enough, RJ Koehler shares a raw and honest memoir of one adoptive family's journey through Reactive Attachment Disorder, borderline personality traits, and the unhealed trauma of a young girl named Julia.
Julia's early years left invisible wounds that shaped her identity, relationships, and ability to trust. What began as hope for a new start quickly became a cycle of manipulation, aggression, self-destruction, and emotional unpredictability. For years, her adoptive family fought to provide safety, structure, and love while surviving the daily crises her behaviors created.
Even when Julia returned to her biological mother, the trauma followed, repeating the same painful patterns. This is a story of love and of letting go. It is the hard truth that sometimes saving someone is beyond your power, and survival requires courage, boundaries, and resilience.
