[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 12355, member: 2459"] I never thought about the "not liking looking at yourself" point of view before. I can see how that would be upsetting and/or frustrating. But, with that said, difficult child is sooo hard to figure out. He's been in counseling most of his life. He's actually been overheard counseling other kids (and saying exactly the right things) but when it comes to applying what he's learned/discussed in counseling to himself...nadda. Or he'll do the technique for a few days and then just quit. Considering my difficult child in particular, my best guess is that he's mad because he is still going but who knows. Also, someone talked about the counselor himself. difficult child gets along with his and likes him. I think the guy is around my age but he relates well with adolescents, which is his specialty. (I also like him as he's the first in a long line who has actually consistantly asked how husband and I are doing and suggested things we can do to help with stress. Plus he's pretty cute so it's always nice to get my weekly Counselor M fix! [img]:blush:[/img] ) The only time we've really had a problem was when we had a female counselor. That did not go well at all so she referred us to someone else. I just don't think that at this point it's really doing any good no matter who difficult child sees. He's got it all down pat and will say all of the right things. For the most part whoever he sees can see right through this although he did have one guy very snowballed. But, we keep him in it, partly because right now he's required through his probation and also because I keep hoping something will click one of these years. He turns 18 in just over a year so I have no idea what will happen at that point. Thank you all for your input. It gives me a lot to think about. [/QUOTE]
