[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 326060, member: 1436"] Steely, in my humble opinion the therapy is forcing (okay, not a good word but I can't think of another right now) Matt to develop the autonomy he should have developed long ago. I know he was pulled out of school and was home schooled for a while. If I remember correctly, he basically became a hermit with limited contact with the outside world. Up until about 10, most children confide in their parents. As they age, they begin to not share with their parents and become secretive. In their early teens, as they begin to develop autonomy, that changes and they move to their peer groups to "tell it all." All of mine, especially the easy child's did this. Then, they begin to develop a relationship with another special person, and that person becomes their go to...think boyfriend/girlfriend. Once they are adults, they begin to share again, but more on a equal/adult way---seeking advice as they would from a peer. It's all been odd to live through with mine...it was really hard during the early teens when they would tell me nothing...or hide things they didn't want me to know. Now we can have open honest conversations about things, but most of the "sharing" is done with their significant others. [/QUOTE]
