[QUOTE="unsure, post: 343099, member: 9046"] Hi Smallworld~ Yes his issues started after the divorce and have progressively gotten worse. My difficult child was in counseling for awhile as well as my easy child. It seemed to help easy child emmensely, but difficult child only said and did what he needed to to get out of counseling and is no longer going. That is partially my doing because I didn't feel that the counselor was doing him any good really and that difficult child was only there to get his way with things...he would point blank lie and argee to things if that would get him out there. Sorry but I'm by no means rich and I'm not paying for something that isn't effective. difficult child was usually anger and harder to handle after his session also. No it's not possible for the ex and I to work out an argreement (via counselor) or otherwise. We've been down those roads to. That is where difficult child gets the 'tell them what they want to hear and then do whatever you want' from his father. He would attend his counseling session and IEP meetings and tell them whatever they wanted to heat and agree that he was on board with everything and then go home and throw it all out the window. So as a result of this, I handle things how I see fit in my home and let him handle things how he sees fit at his...it's easier on me that way. My easy child and SD has adjusted to different sets of lifestyles and rules and my difficult child will too eventually. I also come from a divorced family and I adjusted to two different ways of life and I'm fine, but maybe that clouds my perspective of things. [/QUOTE]
