This seems to be happening alot lately. I take difficult child to therapist last night. He is fine when we are talking about something that he likes to talk about (how well he's doing in school is usually his favorite topic), but as soon as we shift to something that difficult child does not want to deal with or wants to avoid, it's a complete and total shut down. Won't answer. Leaves the office. Tells us that we are stupid for trying to talk about things with him that he doesn't want to talk about. He's right and everyone else is wrong and if we all would just learn that everyone's lives would be alot easier because then he would not have to blow up at everyone all the time. At usual, it's all my fault. If I just gave him everything that he wants, nothing would go wrong at home. UGH!!
How do you break them of this heightened sense of entitlement? Everything he wants should be his. He never has to say he's sorry and he's never wrong about anything. His favorite phrase is, "I'm right, your wrong. End of conversation!" He even told that to the therapist last nigt. If my opinion is different from his, he says that his opinion is not opinion, it's a FACT and his facts are the only ones that are right and the only ones worth listening to.
husband thinks that difficult child has gotten too confortable with the therapist and that is why he is showing him more of his true personality in the last year. I would have thought that since he had a good relationship with the therapist that he would be able to work with him better. Is it time to find a new one? The thought of that is SO overwhelming.
