[QUOTE="keista, post: 477099, member: 11965"] ((((HUGS)))) I was wondering what therapist had to say as well. in my opinion difficult child needs to do some serious therapy work in this area. He is stuck in a negative, and continues to CONSTANTLY draw on the negative, and therefore, no matter what you do or say, you will never be able to "change" his mind. difficult child needs to work this out on his own, hopefully with the guidance of therapist. Does therapist understand your position and has he been told of all the things you do do out of love and not necessity? (not that you should have to defend your love for your child, but we're trying to get through to a difficult child here. Has anyone asked difficult child what he thinks parental love is supposed to look like? For all we know, he's got some crazy concept about parental love in his head. It could even be a concept that in no rational way could be called love, but it is difficult child's concept. It could also be something seeming ridiculous like you lost your temper with him 2 or3 years ago, said something you "shouldn't have" to him ONCE, and he's stuck on that as defining the fact that you "don't love him". ((((HUGS)))) I hope you figure it out soon because it does get old and VERY tiring. [/QUOTE]
