[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 569502, member: 15473"] Yeah I walked away furious. I know this is not a game and I am not supposed to win but yesterday I felt beaten. Not just in a I lost my ability to parent way but in a I lost my hope way. I still pretty much feel that way now. Both of my daughters love this therapist but to be honest I felt like I was thrown under the bus before the meeting and then thrown back under the bus during the meeting. The first time was when we got to the meeting and the therapist announced they would be going in together. This is something I knew difficult child would refuse so I had kept it from her. I had given the easy child warning though because she handles things better. All of this came about because I contacted the therapist in regards to some issues a few weeks ago and he suggested we do group. He said the girls had both refused it previously but he felt it was best. Anyway when we got to the appointment and the therapist asked them to come up he specifically said it was because I had requested a group appointment. I never requested it I went with his opinion that it was a good idea. He should know by now that anything that is my idea is not going to happen with the difficult child. She even proceeded to leave during the second hour because I wouldn't agree to her demands. But even after that he supported giving her more freedom. WTH I am dealing with a kid who uses anger as a weapon and threatens me with leaving all the time. She shows him that she is more than willing to walk away if I don't just bend to her request and he still thinks the best option is to give in. Last night after all their big talk at therapy about helping out more and being more supportive I came home to a disaster in the kitchen. I did all my motherly duties and ensured there was a meal served and then went to bed. The kitchen is still a disaster this am and PS I fired the house cleaner last week so this time there is no back up plan for them. Once again I lose! [/QUOTE]
