[QUOTE="ksm, post: 465932, member: 12511"] Our difficult child starts seeing a new therapist tomorrow. We are switching because the one the children had seen since for quite some time also attends the church we go to. As difficult child's behavior worsened, she was really reluctant for him to know about it - as it was "embarassing" to her. Now we are starting a new relationship with a new therapist - and I don't want to go in and "sabotage" it from the start. I am not sure what to say while I am there in front of difficult child. Should I just keep my mouth shut? Type up a list of behaviors and hand to her? Let difficult child say what her problems are? But should would minimize that there even is a problem! Or the problem is all me. The therapist won't have the previous records yet - as she said she would have me sign a form and then request what she needed. I just want her to know how bad things sometimes are. I think it will be hard for her to realize that when this picture perfect 13yo girl walks in like she is the poster child for well adjusted teens. No kidding. Most people would never believe what happens at home. KSM [/QUOTE]
