[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 140940, member: 4362"] The poem is heartbreaking. What is even more heartbreaking is that the therapist didn't take it seriously! As a teacher, if one of my students wrote that, I would have taken it to the counselor and had a CPS and/or mental health referral done immediately. I'm not a professional, but I do know when a child is crying for help. On a personal note, my difficult child has more or less said the same words, and it kills me. He hasn't said them in a while, partially because I think he's stabilized on his medications and is generally happier. The bad news is that he's going to visit his dad tonight and be there for four days, so I know that when he gets back, a lot of the same types of emotions evoked in the poem will be going displayed. He keeps saying that when he's old enough he's going to stop seeing his dad, so we shall see. I am so sorry that your difficult child won't trust a therapist anymore. Have you thought about bringing her to some sort of group therapy for teens, where she's talking to her peers rather than an adult? That might help her at this point. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
