[QUOTE="erbaledge, post: 402635, member: 4334"] Ugh! Can I just SCREEEAAAMMM!!!! difficult child is now telling the hospital groups lies! I don't like it one bit! Staff's words "she's trying to one-up other patients stories about their home lives" - one whopping lie: that I'm an alcoholic! I AM NOT - nor do I hardly ever drink! And there's more. And she's trying to make her home life seem so bad - um hello! She would have a great life if she would do the main basics things that are asked of her - and even when she don't, she pretty much has a good life! And they want me to go up there to the hospital to have a counseling session with her? Are you kidding me? I'm sticking with my first thought - she is doing this all for attention, sympathy, and "i'm the victim" thinking! During the group session that she was trying to one-up everyone, when the person running it shut-it-down and moved on to other kids. Well, of course, after the session, difficult child says she wants to kill herself again and is now sitting in the seclusion room over night now! Even if I wanted to give her a taste of how she says she has it at home when she returns, I can't - because she runs the show! I can't get her to do anything, most of the time! The only thing I could do is remove everything from her bedroom, except the bed, blanket/pillow, seven days of clothes - do I resort to that? Or am I just wanting to do this by just being angry at how she makes it seem here? I can't double up her chores, because she rarely does the whopping 2 a day she has to do here (ya they are simple for a fifteen/near 16 yr old - like sweep floor, or vacuum floor) I don't want to go to no session! Not there, not with a therapist that really does not know the whole situation/background/my daughter. Because I refuse to sit in a session while the therapist gets snowballed into all her mis-truths! If she were seriously feeling like she was wanting to die - am I right in thinking that she wouldn't be coherent enough to come up with all of these lies and stories she is manifesting and sharing? And how do I as her parent - NOT take this all so personally? I have a hard time not doing so. Any tips on that? [/QUOTE]
