[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 285512, member: 1233"] It sounds like a "good" session with the therapist. How do you think he will do in the class he wants? I remember how hard it was when husband would crawl into his computer to the exclusion of the entire family. I used to lock up the keyboard and mouse on him. He would go to work and then I would put them in a closet he had no key for. I always talked about the problem with him, usually many times, before I went to that extreme. It has been years since I needed to, but I remember. It used to really bug the kids when husband did that. Largely because the only computer was in the dining room and he would sit there and ignore ALL of us for days on end. Up to 15 hours a day on the weekend! Would it help if you told husband what difficult child said? And backed him up (difficult child up) with your own observations? At one point I went so far as to log all the times husband was on the computer, doing something else, at work. He didn't know I was doing the log and told me it was a LIE because ALL he did was take care of kids and work. So I suggested that he keep a log - on a paper taped to the wall by the computer - of the times he got on the computer and got off the computer. He hadn't realized he was doing it at all. Many hugs to all of you. [/QUOTE]
