[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 228979, member: 6546"] And unfortunately...sometimes counselors and mental health professionals jump to that conclusion as well. It is the worst, most isolating feeling in the world to hear a "professional" dismiss your concerns after a single one-on-one session with your difficult child and tell you "[I]O, she is such a sweet girl...I'm sure that you are just over-reacting. Why not try spending a little more quality time?"[/I] I am so grateful to have found this forum! I finally feel like I have a group of parents who understand that I am trying so hard to be the best mother I know how...and despite my efforts, my child is still angry, upset, kicking, screaming, throwing things at me and ready to tell you horror stories of her abusive home life. If only these people understood how frustrated we are...and that hearing their judgment only makes us feel like even more of a failure. :frowny: [/QUOTE]
