[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 350956, member: 3907"] DF, I agree with the others. A lot of our children are incredibly challenging. And not very many tdocs have the right sort of experience with dual or complex dxs to really understand how to help our children. BUT, they're in the expert seat, and often start out the therapy relationship reassuring us that yes, they CAN help our children. When they then find themselves in way over their heads, there's no graceful way to climb down from that position without losing face, so they attempt to get out of the situation another way, sometimes by blaming the parents. I'm not saying that this is the case with all or even most tdocs. Just that our kids are so very difficult to help that we're more likely than most to run into this issue. Sorry the therapist is letting difficult child run the show. That's not going to help anyone. Maybe the time has come to discontinue therapy with this one, while you try to find another who can better meet your needs. It can be a long dark road. We went through about 5 psychiatrists and countless tdocs before we found the right combination for our difficult child 1. He's still resistant to therapy and gives all of us the gears, but at least this psychiatrist can see through the behaviour rather than falling for it. Sorry you're having to deal with this.
