[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 428848, member: 7083"] I have quit, so to speak. I told therapist (who is both my therapist and difficult child's) that I was no longer going to be a therapeutic parent. I told her that difficult child is 16, has always been resistant to parent, has fought every step of the way, and is now responsible for her own therapy. I told therapist that I don't want to know what is going on unless it's something that I absolutely have to know. No matter what I do, I'm the bad guy anyway. Of course, it's gone over better in theory than in reality. There is always going to be some aspect of therapeutic parenting with difficult child, but I have cut it way back. IOW, when she comes to me with one of her endless issues that I know nothing I say or do will "work", I immediately put it on her and tell her to write it down and work on it in therapy. That said, my difficult child doesn't exhibit the behaviors that yours does. Have you told MST worker about the numerous times you've done this in the past and the results? [/QUOTE]
