[QUOTE="Malika, post: 412423, member: 11227"] I hope your therapy is helpful for you both. I do feel, to pick up the point Marguerite made, that - without blaming myself - I have had a hand in creating my son's "oppositionality"... and obviously he contributed something of his own... It has taken me a while, as it does for most of us, to realise that I have to find other ways of dealing with my son than just doing what comes naturally... I have got very upset and angry with him in the past (because his behaviour just seemed to me like incomprehensible defiance) and this definitely made him worse and also showed him that getting angry is acceptable... I feel like we are in this together, learning together - learning self-control together, learning more skilful strategies together... It is a relationship dynamic, not just "his problem". [/QUOTE]
