[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 625732, member: 15804"] I brought up my concern that my difficult child has become the "Identified Patient" at his p-doctor/t-doctor appointment yesterday. They both just nodded and listened. This is pretty much their initial reaction to almost any hot button question I ask. We had a lot of important stuff to cover yesterday. Still, I would have liked an opinion from them. When p-doctor stepped out of the room for a minute I asked the t-doctor what we do to correct the situation, if in fact, difficult child has become the Identified Patient (at least somewhat) and she replied, "The first step is identifying it." That's as much as I got from either of them. His dad couldn't make the appointment yesterday but is supposed to be at the next one in two weeks. I will bring it up again at that time. It is important to me that if this is happening we do "identify it." If the entire family system is broken, focusing exclusively on "fixing" difficult child is only going to make things worse in my opinion. [/QUOTE]
