[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 448639, member: 11791"] He may be very bright, and knows that even just opening his mouth is going to mean that HE is going to have to change. And he is very resistant to change right now. been there done that - but I don't have any real solutions. I'm surprised that the therapist doesn't have anything more creative to try... like art therapy? Something - anything - to get him expressing himself in some way. It's even harder because you are a single parent. Do you have a strong support network? Sometimes it helps if you can "divide and conquer" - have one person doing x with difficult child while someone else does y with easy child/difficult child. They may be maturing at different rates, and need to spend more time apart. But you can't split yourself in two, to do this! Sending {{hugs}}. [/QUOTE]
