[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 90358, member: 4250"] My son is seeing a counselor. He began therapy a year after his sister came to live with us.... he saw that therapist for a year, then my husband came home from Iraq. The deployment was so hard on all of us that we made a few changes due to it. I had quit my job during the deployment to help both kids. We were 2 1/2 hours away from any family. So, afterward, we moved "back home" to live near my family where we could have more support. Then, I got pregnant and had Emma. There was an interim just after we moved where he was not in counseling. But, he has been back in counseling with this new counselor for about 8 months now. She is great with him. He made some progress emotionally over the summer. What I'm noticing now is that it's not carrying over to his behavior. He's been throwing tantrums like a toddler, etc. And, it almost seems as though he's still using emotional problems as an excuse to behave badly. Now - he's healed some & made progress - he is aware that he got away with more because of his need to heal... Taking advantage of me? I've been cracking down on behavior, but it requires a lot of diligence & attention to do it right. I'm back at work full time now, and that makes it hard. ok..... I've really rambled now I think. God Bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
