[QUOTE="cadydid, post: 231197, member: 6608"] Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome :) A little more back round on my son.. He has been in counseling for almost 4 years now. We have had to kiss a few frogs to get to the prince of a counselor we have now. His current counselor is worth my weight in gold. He is currently under an IEP and receives services under an SED waiver. Alot of the issues that exist between my husband and my son are because of their fathers. My son's father has chosen not to have anything to do with him because he is afraid that I will take him to court for child support (longggg story), so naturally my son has resentment that he directs to the closest male, my husband. My husband was raised with a step-father that was less than affectionate, more on the side of indifference. My husband was on his own for 15 years before we got married. So while I think he is capable of being a great father and a dad, I don't think he knows how to be a dad. My son divides his time between the middle school, and an alternative school. I am lucky in that I have not had much trouble with the school until this year. They brought a "therapy coordinator" onboard at the alternative school this year who seems to think she is the key to transforming the kids there into model citizens. All of a sudden there are communication issues, failure to abide by his IEP provisions, and just an over all "we know whats better for him than you do because have degrees and you dont" :angry: As for me... I tried seeing my own counselor, but all they did was tell me I needed less stress in my life (ummm duhhh????:angry:) Because of my health insurance, I can only go one place, and I do not want to go there. So in the mean time, I take it one day at a time, and pray that I do not lose my sanity in the process :winking: [/QUOTE]
