[QUOTE="Andy, post: 400897, member: 5096"] That is cool that you have a therapist that will make car visits. And you know, if your difficult child truly did not want to hear what therapist and you said, the, "I need to go to the bathroom" may have come up while you were all in the car? He still is trying to grasp how therapist can help and it is so hard to let anyone, even tdocs, know of your challenges. My difficult child has decided that denial will work for him. I made the mistake of telling him before we stopped to fill up with gas about some information I shared with both psychiatrist and therapist. I looked at my almost empty tank facing an hour drive to therapist and thought, "Oh no! I blew it this time!" difficult child had said, "NO! We are not going! You don't have to tell them about that! I am just going to deny it." I was so afraid he would run while I was filling up with gas. I dropped him off with some $$$ at a Taco John's next to the gas station. My anxiety rose a bit when I tried calling him before going in to pay for the gas (I wanted to let him know I was going into the restroom so would be a little longer coming out) and he did not answer but then as I turned around, there he was, hands full of food asking who I was calling. My difficult child also needs time to think things over and usually the next time will have more positive outcomes. During a situation however, once those heels are dug in, they will stay dug in and the "I am sorry" that comes after is a very good sign that he wished it didn't go that way. Then I have to hope that the "I am sorry" along with what was said during the time (your conversation with therapist or my telling my difficult child that talking helps) will make things go better next time. You did good! [/QUOTE]
