[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 617964, member: 17269"] If I had a dime for every therapist who supposedly said the problem wasn't with the person in therapy....jeez!!! do they really say that? I can't believe it is so. "You stole the gas and helped your friends steal the gas but the problem isn't you, its your parents??"" I don't think so. I think difficult child isn't hearing quite right, and he is invoking the authority of the therapist to make you and his mom doubt yourselves, go right to guilt. If the therapist were reinforcing him in that way he wouldn't quit going, he would suck it right up. He is quitting because the therapist is challenging him, which is making him uncomfortable..he doesn't want to be told he is the problem, he wants to be right! this is a basic problem with therapy. When it gets hard, where rock meets bone and the work gets done, the weak quit. Done it myself. I'm fine with your ex giving him money to leave as long as she changes the locks and cancels all shared credit the second he walks out the door. Bad horse. [/QUOTE]
