[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 332558, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]DF, we would have some of the same issues with therapist's who didn't have a clue about Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) & how charming & manipulative these kids can be. One therapist insisted on one on one therapy with kt - he was later investigated because kt accused him of touching her. After that husband & I or myself alone was always in the room with the tweedles. Attachment therapy is a bit different in that the parents are always in the room & a good attachment therapist knows what is behind the accusations & such thrown about during therapy. Saying all that, now when we are in family therapy I let kt (or wm) hang themselves with their lies & such. I share my honest emotions & feelings over the antics of the previous week. I don't flip & I'm never defensive. Personally I don't care what the tdocs think of me. AND if they want to have CPS come in & investigate me go for it. Our little wonders can make all the accusations, cause all the CPS visits they want but at some point that will come to bite them in the butt. At some point CPS will pull difficult child for their own safety & then who knows. The more difficult child snows a therapist the more a parent pulls back to protect themselves. DF, I hope if you decide to do Family therapy insist on an "intake" appointment. Explain the years of what's gone on in the home. Ask therapist if they can see past the manipulation to the emotional disorder. It may be worth it. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
