[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 338719, member: 8617"] I'll be the first to admit I am a complete basket case, that's on a good day. Still doesn't negate difficult child's issues now does it? I have the same issue with therpay as Star. I often run into professionals who are only marginally experienced though their paperwork and ego state otherwise. There is a very distinct difference between serious mental illness and people who fall into the "depressed soccer mom, bratty teen, wandering husband or mid life crisis" set. Throwing a couple prozac at someone who gets a little down about life is not at all like dealing with someone who has some serious chemical and emotional crossed wires. I have been through the system enough times for myself, ex husband and difficult child, and worked at a group home for some very mentally ill adults...the kind hollywood turns into stereotypes for scenes in an asylum. 95% of the time I have seen the "magic tricks" so they don't work on me. I am capable of self analysis. I also spent several years in the back of all my Dad's grad school classes before I hit elementary school age. (colleges were cool in the 70's) Long story short I told my parents they couldn't spank me because it would damage my psyche when I was 4. Nope, mental health care professionals hate me and think I am a crack pot because I feel they are ineffective. I'm not willing to do therapy and think I am smarter than they are so I clearly have major issues. It irritates me when I know exactly where they are leading like a terrible movie and guessing the plot before it ever happens. Sort of takes the personal "aha" moment of getting your head shrunk when you think...well heck I knew that already. I'm not depressed dangit. :winking: I'm not even bi polar. I'm moody okay? I'm difficult because I am spoiled, blame my parents and husband for that. I'm used to getting my way, what of it? I'm also knee deep in a spiritual and existential crisis. I am questioning existance and the precepts by which society is bound. I am an eager non conformist because I like negative attention and need distinct personal autonomy. I follow rules out of personal honor not obligation but still despise authority and everything it represents. Clearly I am either a hypochondriac or a cross of ODD, narcisist with a dash of PTSD and who knows what else. It sure isn't bi polar though. Shows you how much they know.:raspberry-tounge: lol Long story short, I maybe shouldn't have gotten mad at the DCFS worker last night even though she is pig headed and ignorant. That just validates that difficult child is normal and I imagine his issues. GREAT, just what I needed. :knockedout: [/QUOTE]
