[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 503138"] Oops - about the counselors I not sure why it was so hard to find a counselor. I think mostly it was because so many tdocs specialize - a lot of adolescent/teen counselors specialize in learning issues or adhd or eating disorders and don't want to see kids with substance issues. Some were not accepting new patients or couldn't get us in for weeks or only treated children. Because difficult child's doctor was understandably MIA - I didn't get a recommendation from her - which may have saved me some calls. It was also important to find someone in our town because I didn't want difficult child to give up football - so I needed to be able to pull him out of lunch or study hall for appointments and get him back to school. He was on thin ice with the team and football gave him so much joy - I knew missing practices would not work out in his favor with the coaches. And football was our ace in the hole - the carrot on the stick! [/QUOTE]
