[QUOTE="klmno, post: 216002, member: 3699"] I went in with difficult child the first few minutes of his appointment with therapist this afternoon. I told therapist about the situation- made it obvious that I'm not doubting that difficult child doesn't feel well and I'm not angry that he doesn't feel well. But, I explained the reality of the situation and that even if difficult child went to school and laid on the cot in the clinic all day long, it would be better than staying home in bed until noon. I explained the fact that financially and with my job and PO, things are on the verge of a crisis. I explained that right now, school is very supportive but we can't expect that to last forever if difficult child isn't even showing up. Then, I left the room and let them talk alone. difficult child hasn't really said anything to me about it but he has acted in a little better mood. He really likes this therapist- actually, so far, I do too. therapist told me when he walked difficult child out at the end to call him if I needed to- if things were reaching crisis point. I don;t know if he has any ideas that could help or if he just meant he'd listen to me whine about it a few minutes and try to make me feel better. I guess I should have let him know that he could call me if he needed to discuss something with me, but I assumed he knew that. [/QUOTE]
