[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 317666, member: 6546"] Nomad-- To me, the scenario you describe sounds as if difficult child asked the therapist to "do the talking for her" Know what I mean?? To tell her dad what she didn't have the courage to say herself. Maybe husband now needs to say to difficult child--"Well, I'm not going to tell you what to do about this new situation, but if you need anything, I'm here to help." If you look at it another way, difficult child was able to help herself by getting a new apartment. She made a bad choice, got evicted, and then went and found a new place to live. That shows that she took responsibility for solving the problem she created. That's good, right? So perhaps the therapist talking in front of her should be treated as water under the bridge?
