[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 751297, member: 1233"] I am sorry that your son treats you like that. Going back to the therapist was a great idea. Esp if you are the one paying for her services. It is HARD to get over that immediate fear response, esp for us adult kids of alcoholics. Or adult grandkids. You have EVERY right to insist on no addictive medications. EVERY RIGHT. Don't back down if a psychiatrist tells you that benzos, etc... are okay. They are, for short term use if you do not have an addictive personality AND are known not to use opiates. Otherwise? They are NOT SAFE. Insist on what is right for your home, and your safety regardless of what these people say. Doctors/therapists are experts in their field of study. They are NOT experts in our kids. WE are the experts in our kids - we spent their entire lives with them where the doctor/therapist sees them for a few minutes a week/month/year. Don't ever let them bully you into feeling like you don't know your kid! [/QUOTE]
