[QUOTE="Andy, post: 276935, member: 5096"] That is a great idea to make a list for psychiatrist. When things get intense with my difficult child, I will often write out the event and hand to therapist (psychiatrist reads his reports). It helps me to remember everything I want to include. It also may help to see the psychiatrist first to discuss current moods and share info without the interruptions. Does your difficult child see a therapist? Mine sees one. He was seeing him every week for a long time. We then took it down to once every other week and then once a month. I brought it back up to weekly this last two months and we will try every other week or monthly during the Summer. It all depends on how difficult child is doing - how intense he is. I bring up the therapist because my difficult child's therapist has been great in supporting my husband and I as the authority of the household. My difficult child got into an ugly demanding mood over my helping him with homework. He became very disrespectful and I refused to listen or help him until he stopped that behavior. On our next visit to therapist, therapist asked me how things were going at home, was difficult child obeying us? I answered, for the most part to which difficult child interrupted and said, "I told him about it." difficult child told therapist he wished he had not done what he had. therapist will work with him to remain respectful as he goes through his teen years. difficult child really respects therapist and wants to keep the respect therapist has for him. He knows that disrespecting me is going to disappoint therapist. It really is scary when I see ugly moments/days in my pre-teen boy. My imagination runs rampant and I envision a criminal trying his best to intimidate me and control me when he is 16 years old. Ugh - all the more reasons to stand firm and stay strong now! Hugs to you! [/QUOTE]
