[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 491995, member: 11791"] This is, of course, not uncommon. However, there are two sides. [I][B][U]Not for those of us on this board... but in general[/U][/B][/I]. psychiatrists and tdocs, of course, can't tell the diff... Option 1) Parent has problems, which then creates or amplifies problems in the kid. YES, this does happen. However, those kinds of parents don't tend to come to places like this to get help... Option 2) Kid has problems, which then creates or amplifies problems in the parent. Sound familiar? In reality - both problems exist, and there's no way the psychiatrist/therapist can tell which problem came first. And just from experience with both medical and school staff? It almost looks like they are trained to assume parent problems came first. Unless you get things figured out by whatever other means and make progress on difficult child followed by progress with yourself... at which point, they don't necessarily admit you were right, but they do quietly drop the subject of the parent being the cause of the difficult child's problems...
