[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 387236"] Okay, here is the e-mail that I sent to the therapist: "Okay, there is something that I truly need to get off my chest about the last session that we had with difficult child. I understand that you feel that difficult child working with easy child is a good idea, however I totally disagree with it. When my husband and I met with you a week ago we decided that we were going to start to keep a GFGl Book so that I could have an accurate record of what happened during the week, both good and bad, and my understanding was that we were going to use that book as an outline of what needed to be worked on in session. In case you missed it, that totally did not happen. What the heck is the point of keeping a record of the happenings of the week if we are not going to use it? Why am I wasting my time? The point of having an outline of what happened for the week is to prevent difficult child from completely manipulating the topics that are discussed, which in my opinion, is exactly what happened. We could have talked about his lying issues (he said that his father threatened to hurt him, which did not happen) or his continued talking to me with the utmost disrespect and nasty attitude. That child treats me no better than the dirt under his shoes, and it it never going to get better until we can work on it. If my concerns are never going to be addressed than what is the point of having him come to see you? I understand the praise is important, and he DOES get praised when he does the right thing. However, talking to you about only the things that he does right is not going to help him learn to behave properly, and it certainly not going to help me from feeling like I want to ship him off somewhere so he can be someone else's problem. Truthfully, I'm done." Hopefully, I will hear back from him before I go back with difficult child on Tuesday. Pam [/QUOTE]
