[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 332034, member: 1631"] I have mixed feelings about family therapy. We've never done the full out family with easy child included which could be helpful but we are always with difficult child for his therapy (or at least one of us-usually me due to our schedules). Some of the therapy for difficult child has been helpful to him because there are times (few and far between) when I see him using one of the strategies he learned there to calm himself down. Much of it hasn't been too helpful because difficult child just isn't in a place a lot of the time where he is available for the therapy. As for us being there; we've been lucky that the tdocs over the years have never thought it was our parenting. That doesn't mean we were perfect parents and they didn't show us some things we could try to do to help better parent difficult child. They did (and do), however, realize how difficult difficult child is. With that being said there are times I resent going to therapy with him because I don't see the kinds of strides and growth I would like to see and I get tired of playing the games and giving up my time when there are so many times he just isn't available for the therapy.
