I attended my first family therapy session with ktbug today at Residential Treatment Center (RTC). As kt is slated to stay at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for only 3 months therapist wanted to discuss my concerns with kt present.
I listed my top 3 issues & kt proceeded to become emotionally & verbally abusive toward me. therapist stopped kt in mid tirade as I just sat back & shook my head. He asked if this was the norm. Again kt started in; therapist asked kt to let me get a word in edgewise.
I let him know that I have long ago quit attending therapy with kt for just this abusive attitude. kt pulled the little old orphan me act & I shrugged. With that kt threw the personal supplies I brought in for her against the wall. therapist immediately called in unit staff & asked that kt be escorted from his office. kt refused & insisted that she can continue the session & walk me out of the building at the end.
A showdown ensued ~ kt didn't back down. kt became physically aggressive & was put into a hold. therapist walked me out of the bldg as she was raging. I let therapist know that I no longer had the physical, emotional or mental energy to deal with the day in, day out of kt & her continuing garbage.
He let me know that he needed to push kt out of her comfort zone. kt was honeymooning far too long for the level of time approved for kt at this placement. therapist needed to see kt & her attitude toward me, her level of defiance & anger. therapist also promised me that any emotional or verbal abuse or aggression would be stopped immediately & kt would be escorted out of the office.
I think he got a good picture.
