[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 713095, member: 18516"] So true. Knowing what I know now, I would be much more discerning in picking a family counselor. The first one we went to allowed our son to sit in a chair, bent over with his head in his lap. He would not participate and she didn't force the issue. My husband and I would sit and answer her questions. I remember her asking me why I worked. Well duh!!! we needed the money and couldn't make it on my husband's pay alone. She suggested that if I were a stay at home mom that we wouldn't have issues with our son's behavior. While my son may not have "participated" he was not deaf. I'm sure this was the beginning of him blaming me for his behavior problems. It also didn't help me in the "guilt" department either. We didn't stick with her long and found a counselor that would hold our son accountable and did not lay the blame on me and my husband. I agree with you 100% about DNA. I've said it before, my son is just like his bio-father who was out of the picture when my son was 4 and really had very little influence on him before that. Good parenting or bad parenting, at some point we all become adults and get to choose how we will live our lives. [/QUOTE]
