[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 297739"] Is your son telling you what the counselor told him? Chances are it is only partial truths. Don't worry about it in the least. If you can meet with the counselor...that might be good. Did he ever recommend someone for the entire family? Stick to your guns. You and your husband decide what you want and need from your son and for the family. Are you really signficantly concerned about what your sister thinks? You said that you strongly feel your son is parroting her? If that is the case...what is the big deal? If your son is jealous of easy child...this is normal. Your son can have more if he does more. He has heard what he needs to do. If he doesn't want to do it, it's his choice. No one elses. If your son wants to be a slave to his emotions...to damaging emotions...it is his choice. It's good that he is going to a therapist and this should be praised, and it is good that he went to that family meeting, but he now needs to agree to what was said there. Perhaps more family meetings are in order (I don't know....maybe you know on some level if that would work). Perhaps he could come over once a week for dinner and a "family meeting." I do hope you and your husband are learning to put this aside when and where possible and are enjoying your time together as a couple. [/QUOTE]
