[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 359168, member: 1233"] I think a class should be added to EVERY certification program for psychologist, licensed social workers, etc..... It should include spending a month living with a family with a difficult child. Doing the budget, taking said difficult child to classes, docs, etc , handling all the school stuff, and listening to all the ways the rest of the family has to go without so that difficult child can have this stuff. It seems to me that MOST of these tdocs have no real clue how a difficult child affects the rest of the family, what other family members give up in order to get the help the difficult child "needs". Needs is in quotes because tdocs tell us a lot of things difficult children need, but often it is stupid stuff like horses, or to be paid to be nice to a sibling. Tdocs somehow have to have their eyes opened to how the family suffers because the difficult child. I know my kids are VERY jealous of Wiz. He has a LOT of stuff they don't. I cannot afford to sign them up for all kinds of art classes at a hundred bucks a pop. Not with the bills and husband still job hunting. Now my parents are taking Wiz to Europe for a few weeks. They didn't take ME. They feel it is "important" for his education. The one he refused to turn in homework for or pass math classes with better than a D for. Or pass his German class with better than a C. It is my parents' $$ so I don't comment. I stay out of things concerning Wiz. He doesn't return my calls or speak to me when I call for more than a Hi. Not even a how are you, just a hi. He has been very specific and clear that he loves me but does not want me in his day to day life. It hurts, but it is what it is. My younger two have sacrificed SO MUCH because Wiz' gfgness. There has to be some way to get tdocs to focus treatment on difficult children behavior within the framework of the family. difficult children are NOT the only priority a family has. They just aren't. NO kid is. But most tdocs don't have a clue. [/QUOTE]
