[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 287870, member: 7083"] I know I need to schedule a one on one appointment with the therapist. I'm afraid that is just going to open a whole can of worms with difficult child. If it were up to me, I wouldn't tell her. She will feel like it's a betrayal of sorts. And I don't know how the therapist will feel about keeping it from her - or how diplomatic she would be about telling her. I'm just tired. So tired. Bone weary exhausted. She came home from glass class tonight with her PCA and was giving me attitude. The PCA told her to stop; told her she was being negative. Told her that she is always putting herself and everyone else down and that she needs to be more positive. difficult child says she can't help it; it's her personality. I'm soooooo tired of the helplessness she exhibits. "I'm not in a good mood in the morning." "I told you I don't like to say those things." "It's just my personality." Like that's that and there is nothing to be done about it. I've spent 14 years trying to help her realize that something can, in fact, be done about it, but she won't have any part of it. If it is going to take any effort on her part, she's not interested. I just see her living her life as a miserable person. And I don't want to live with a miserable person. Is that horrible? [/QUOTE]
