[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 610136, member: 15810"] It's so funny that you said that exact wording, because I just had this same conversation with difficult child the other day. He complains that nothing ever stays in the past. In his mind he said he's sorry, so it's over and done with. I tell him that his apology really doesn't mean that much anymore because he does the same things over and over and over and over again. I'll know he's sorry when he learns from his mistakes and changes his behaviors. He hates when I bring things up to the therapist because he feels it does not good. "It's over. Why bother?" I tell him that she needs to know exactly what is going on in the home. He doesn't understand that. Why on earth would she need to know what is going on in the home, unless, of course, it's to say how everything is my fault and if I were a better mother we'd have no problems at all. I feel your frustration, and I wish I had an answer for you. Sadly, I don't really think there, is short of getting them to their 18th birthdays and letting them live out on their own. [/QUOTE]
