[QUOTE="klmno, post: 184281, member: 3699"] Terry, I'm glad to hear you survived the appointment- albeit, it sounds like quite an emotional drain on more than one front. My son has been going thru the developmental stage the psychiatric described to you for a couple of years now. I agree that it is harder and more exagerrated with a difficult child, even though I've never had a second son to compare it, too. Maybe that is why some of the things you described sounded so familiar to my son. One minute he seems to not need me and not want to hear anything I have to say, the next minute, he's talking like a little boy who needs his Mom again. Anyway, I agree with testing, too- but I still think I'd have it done as part of an MDE. I hope I'm not being offensive to anyone, but my concern is that maybe there's only been one professional opinion driving the treatment for way too long- and the professional is a psychologist (who normally look at things at mostly behavior centered). And, the fact that things don't seem to be improving, while your son is at the age where more things are apt to come out. If you had other people's opinion, it doesn't mean you would have to agree with them. I'm a little concerned about husband thinking another opinion would mean "the flavor of the month". I wonder if husband is just afraid of what he might hear. FWIW, we used "guy talk" as a way to get difficult child to open up to his indivfidual counselor last year. It worked- they seem to be perfectly comfortable spilling the beans if they think it's a guy thing!!! [/QUOTE]
