[QUOTE="klmno, post: 218644, member: 3699"] That sounds like some of the "family therapy" we recieved. It didn't work so well with me (us) either. I did take issue with them acting like it was couples therapy- it is not- I am the parent and he's the child and if they think for one second that that method was going to keep him in line, then they obvioulsy didn't know my son too well. Anyway, I don't know what to tell you unless you can get out of it somehow. Another common problem I found- some therpaists (and others) tend to think that the goal is to make your household just like that of the typical 2-parent, 2-kid household. Well, there is no way that a single-parent household can work like a 2-parent household. The dynamics will never be the same. I think it's good that you can see these things. I don;t know what to tell you as far as what to do to improve it, but I feel your pain. Ours was court-ordered due to a recommendation by a GAL who had never even spoken to difficult child's psychiatrist. We got an in-home therapist who wanted to take over all difficult child's mental health treatment and iep at school and rules at home. This guy didn't even have a child, much less know anything about a real diagnosis in a child. So, I formally requested a re-hearing by the judge, took in reports from 2 psychiatrists who had evaluation'd my son and had written their recommended treatment and fortunately, the judge changed her order. I feel for you, that's all I can say. [/QUOTE]
