<span style="color: #003300">Then what's a parent to do?
We just got back from mats new counselor, and she was as combative and rude as he is! No lie! I cannot stand her. When mat told her that he did not like his grandpa, the one who has brain cancer, she asked him, so you are glad he is dying?
What???? Mat has every right to be mad at his grandpa he physically abused him when he was younger! Did she ask that, know that, care about that? And who would be glad that someone is dying, even if it is their arch enemy? After he exploded from her comment, she told him that she could see why he had no friends. And she ended it by telling him that she did not think he really wanted help. Greaattt! What a technique! :cry:
Another episode occurred last month when mat was in patient. I guess in an effort for mat to see he did not need to be so protective of me, the sw started this completely inappropriate dialogue. He made a reference to me being single, and that I was a good looking women, and then he asked mat how he would feel when I got a boyfriend? Then he said, I kid you not, "maybe I will date her .then I would be your dad. How would you feel about that? He went on and on with this scenario, and I sat there, dumbfounded. The next day during visitation, he came up to mat and me and accidentally startled mat. The sw asked mat, "what? did you think I was your dad?" Whatttt????? :eek:
This is just the tip of the ice berg .it seems in the past 16 years of our life, like this has happened all of the time. Something about my kid brings out the immature rudeness in professionals (or anybody for that matter - but they should know better). Or maybe it is me. I don't know - but I know find myself bitter, jaded, and continually defensive - and constantly feeling like I am a street sweeper that has to go behind mat and his life, and clean up all of the debris that manages to surround us.
Does anyone else experience this? I, for one, am very, very tired.
