[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 158222, member: 1233"] I am quite alarmed at what your difficult child says the therapist said. I would want to discuss this iwth the therapist and your son at the same time, NOT the therapist alone. You probably have a pretty good gauge of when difficult child is lying, and problem do NOT have this gauge of when/if therapist is lying. We have had tdocs refuse to discuss things with us (parents) after asking them to clarify what they told our difficult child regarding medications and sub abuse. It has been in the part of the session where teh therapist and Wizard speak with-o husband or I that difficult child is then told NOT to tell us things. IF you have any idea this may happen, wait until you get things arranged with the courts to change tdocs IF you feel it is needed. I am always wary of ANY professional who tells my child not to tell things to me or to his father. It sounds like your difficult child is asking for help. I would at least look into a day treatment program if one is available, simply because it may help to have some supervision during the summer. Around age 13 is when kids start experimenting with drugs/alcohol and the danger times are right after school before parents get home, or in the summer if left alone while parents work. And of course no teen wants to go to "daycamp". I do know of tdocs who have admitted to telling tweens and teens that a "little" sub abuse is not a problem. in my opinion it is totally unethical, and probably illegal. I would very very carefully sound out the therapist, and if I needed to discuss it with therapist, would be sure difficult child was with me - because I have usually had some idea of when difficult child was lying. And then could tell by how difficult child reacted if the therapist was misunderstood, or was in CYA mode. It is really good that difficult child opens up to you on this. I would make a call to the psychiatrist if akathisia is suspected. Also would call after about 2 weeks to get results of thyroid tests. Hugs, [/QUOTE]
