[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 218697, member: 805"] I think Marg is right in that is it tough raising a difficult child on your own as a female, especially when that difficult child is a teen of the male species!!!!!!!!!!! I know, that for me, there are times when I am focused a little "too much" on difficult child. easy child doesn't have the needs he has and I have no spouse to interact with, worry about, argue with, talk to, etc. I do find myself having to step back and just "let him". Totoro is right, finding the right therapist can be a long journey. If you don't like the attitude or ideals of this one, find out about getting a replacement. I don't believe it is unreasonable to make the request. Marg is correct is that respect has to go both ways. When I was growing up, respect was a tough thing. My mom had absolutely no respect for me, and in turn it was very difficult for me to give her the respect she demanded. Oh, I did knowing that if I didn't the hand would come flying. But respect is a two-way street. I think that is why the concept of the basket system (Ross Greene) works for so many difficult child families. There is that compromise basket where decisions can be made mutually. Not sure if any of these issues come into play in your case. But raising a teenage boy is tough, even tougher when you are alone and he's a difficult child. I know, I do it as well. Hope you are able to make some changes in the home therapy front.
