[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 587107, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Good news - fingers crossed for continued steps in the right direction. I am curious about something though - you mention that difficult child asked you to leave so he could speak with therapist. I am surprised, unless this is family counseling, that you stay there with difficult child. I would think he will be a lot more open if he were to sit with the therapist alone. My difficult child spent the majority of the allotted time, at least 80%, alone with the therapist since he was a young boy. If there were something she felt I needed to know, like safety issues or something we needed to work on together, she would speak with me about it. But that time was really for difficult child. I remember, when he was really little saying, "Dr. J said everyone needs someone to talk to." I think it actually made him more receptive to talk therapy because he saw her as an ally not an extension of me. But, if this is family therapy, it's a mute point! Again, good to hear about his positive forward motion recently! *Sharon Sharon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
