[QUOTE="witzend, post: 152351, member: 99"] It's been a long time, but I think I at least have some hindsight on this topic. I don't know that counseling ever helped either of my difficult child's because they weren't invested in it. In fact, for M, when he was around the age of 16 and needed it the most (in Residential Treatment Center (RTC)) he very successfully manipulated the counselors in a way that was detrimental to all of us. He totally triangulated the counselors against us. On the other hand, I will say that at a younger age, husband and I got some very useful tools and insight when the whole family participated in counseling. But in the long run it was like beating the dead horse. [/QUOTE]
