[QUOTE="slsh, post: 437131, member: 8"] I'd just let Ms. A. know that she's going backwards. "Blame the parent" is the very first therapeutic approach, and after parents (like you) have jumped thru all necessary hoops and training, then we move on to address the actual issues existing in our beloved offspring. She needs a refresher course. Just because she didn't get to participate in the original parent-bashing sessions doesn't mean she gets to start all over now. And raising a easy child has got zip to do with- luck - don't let her get away with- that. Raising a easy child in a house with- a difficult child takes a whole lot of skill, patience, and talent. Honestly - how dare she say that you "got lucky." As for *your* issues? I'd hit her with: 1. Domestic violence, both physical and emotional, extreme and ongoing. 2. Theft. 3. Threats. 4. Etc., etc., etc. Pointing out of course that said "issues" arise because of your child. Ms. A remembers her, certainly. The one who she's supposed to be treating????? Some therapists are just goofier than all get out. We have to walk a really fine line sometimes, balancing between being compliant participants and protecting ourselves from the real nut jobs out there. [/QUOTE]
