Ok so today we had a new intake at a new therapists office. Our appointment was only supposed to take 1-1/2 house and I spent 3 1/2 hours talking about everything. She feels that difficult child mother is largely responsible for difficult child's behavior. She stated that this was a clear case of neglect. 67 absences from school and shame on the school for not reporting her.
She read every single piece of paper I gave her, and she went over every aspect of the documents. I was very impressed with the care and concern she had. She is going to pick a therapist that can handle the manipulation, aggression, stealing, lying and sexual identity crisis. We are going to receive in home therapy and 1 day a week in the office.
She went over charges he can face with the law if he keeps on this path, and also informed him of what he was in store for at a juvenile detention, group home and jail. He didn't bat an eye at what she said.
She asked me in front of him if difficult child is causing stress on anyone in the home. I asked her to have him leave the room, as I don't feel letting him know certain things are triggers for my husband and myself. So she and I spoke about my fear of him and my fears most of all for my son. She stated that he is definately targeting me making me the focus of his complaints. She stated that I needed to be careful around him.
Well we will see how the therapist works out, only time will tell. I just feel it's going to take a very long time to to get at the root of the problem due to his pathological lying. I am holding on to hope at this point.
Last note that made me feel good was that difficult child will in years to come after good therapy he will see that we are the ones that loved him for getting him the help he so desperately needs.
Thank you all for being here
