You know, I hate rollercoasters. Why was I of all people chosen to ride this one?
difficult child had a great therapist appointment this morning! We went over EVERYTHING. This could well be the first time that we actually went over our time limit. therapist will share everything with psychiatrist but is still certain that difficult child does not have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). He explained another technique we could try and asked us to think about it. He also stated that he is certain difficult child is not suicidal (which I did know but still felt important to document his suicide thoughts which he has been having several these past few days and especially this morning on the way to therapist.). difficult child left the meeting feeling confident again. He made it back to school (arrived in time for lunch) without needing the propranolol and without begging that I take him AFTER lunch and school.
therapist did make one comment that has me a little puzzled. I am not sure how to take it. He said that he talked to psychiatrist after we left on Friday and psychiatrist stated that I was a prepared mom. therapist just stated this but didn't indicate if it was a good thing or not. Would it mean I come across as an overly protective mom? Though I think therapist would address that with me if they believed I was squelching any progress by being too protective. It was also the only thing he brought up. I thought he would say something about how psychiatrist preceived difficult child but nope, just me. I wanted to say, "Wait a minute, who is the patient here? This is suppose to be about difficult child."
