[QUOTE="ksm, post: 577165, member: 12511"] well, we both survived the therapy appointment. I was in the room for the whole time. At first difficult child was just defiant and didn't want to be there. So I figured, I had to pay my copay so I might as well get my money's worth. As I talked difficult child got really mean and hateful and showerd her I don't give a &*%#$ attitude. But when the therapist started talking to her, even though difficult child ignored her and kept playing with her ipod, she started having crying session. Therapist told her that she believes that she is hurting so much and afraid that she must not be capable of being loved by anyone - even her mother who chose drugs over her own kids - that difficult child must feel like she has to put up a front and keep everyone at a distance just to prove that no one loves her. Lots of tears... difficult child let me console her... and wasn't in a bad mood on the way back to school. The therapist did ask her an intriguing question: "Do you think that if your bio parents had sought help when they were your age, and they learned to deal with their problems then, when they were young... do you think you would have the same problems that you do now?" difficult child kind of laughed it off and said if they dealt with their problems, then she probably wouldn't have even been born! Therapist kind of agreed too, but said, but if they did get help, then when they had children, they would have been able to be there for them, provide for them, and take care of them. It has been a draining day. Had to bring difficult child home first to take some Tylenol before taking her back to school. Hopfully, the day will end on a better note. KSM [/QUOTE]
