[QUOTE="compassion, post: 229922, member: 6393"] Thanks Recovering Doormat, I get frustrated with difficult child daugther and therapy which she has been doing since late July. I want the deeper stuff addressed: the anger, the low self esteem, the emotional blackmail . Today at the appointment I will ask her to address that with both of us. She is addressing social skills which is somewhat of an issue but the addiction stuff and the blaming, manipulation and general instability I feel is most pressing. It is a tricky balance as therapist wants difficult child to keep coming but I do feel frustrated and like therapist is enabling /ignoring behaviors. Weekly, I write a behavoir contact and include positives as well as dangerous behaviors. For example, she has been stealing. If I do not insist the outrageous behaviors are addressed, the focus either gets put on me or superficial stuff.Like last week, therapist goes she is doing great at social skills and she had just stolen 2 credit cards and my cellphone. I did not bring that up as was not sure. I am sticking with one incident: the 3 and a half hour fit she threw yesterday when I said she could not spend the night at E's. I refuse to take it on, will put focus on her. Compassion [/QUOTE]
