[QUOTE="klmno, post: 321810, member: 3699"] As a little follow-up- difficult child just called. He's been calling a whole lot lately since he's anxious to hear the answer about the job in HI. Anyway, he asked why we didn't have family therapy today- no one came to get him for it. His therapist was suppsoed to talk to him and explain- I told him that she was going over history again. I also told him that I wasn't sure how effective it was going to be since it seemed to be moving slowly and there was only so much time left. He said he didn't care- let's just play along and get this over with. I guess that's what you were saying, Susie. I've never wanted to teach difficult child how to play the system and I have honestly been trying to get the most of this. I think this could have been effective if we'd started meeting early in the summer and met more often than every ffew weeks and if therapist hadn't locked her brain into something before hearing my perspective. But, we are where we are now. I don't know how I'll approach this- I told difficult child we'd talk about it next weekend at visitation. But I sure won't continue with something that is going to make our relationship worse or more tense. [/QUOTE]
