[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 35906, member: 2389"] Okay~~ Again I am confused, she is just a social worker? and a social worker can not diagnosis, correct? difficult child's journeys led me through so many counsel sessions with different people I can't even begin to count them or explain what title each one held. We worked with private therapist,school counsel,mental health (which involved many different individuals as well as teams)church,jail,hospital,group home,etc. Each person seemed to have a different approach and a different reason for his behavior. What caught my attention was what the social worker said after only a brief explanation of the past yrs with my difficult child. She brought up the losses he suffered when I married 7 yrs ago. I always thought it was the cause of my son's behavior, but I was always patted on the hand by everyone and told I had to live my life and that it didn't cause my son's problems. She asked if we had any counsel before marriage and I said yes through our church. She then told me what I already knew, that the church went by the bible and automatically puts the man as head of the house. We tried this from the beginning, trying to do the right thing, and it backfired and made my son act out. in my opinion that was the beginning of the end for my son and she seemed to agree and tell me the right way to blend a family with a son 11 yrs old that thinks of himself as the little man of the house. I am just scared to death to make the same mistakes with easy child that I made with difficult child. Looking back now, I would have never married until he was grown and I certainly would have spoken up more to all the counsel sessions and docs. I think I was the fool that automatically believed anything the doctor\therapist said because I was just the uneducated mom that had the problem child [/QUOTE]
