[QUOTE="klmno, post: 287442, member: 3699"] She takes an anti-anxiety medication at least sometimes- lexapro I think. She said she talked to a therapist for a short time a couple of years ago but I'm not positive that she got too much therapuetic intervention. I feel like emailing her and putting into writing why I think it would do her some good to talk to someone and try to rationalize with her to get her to see that her calling me to go off on me about everything beiing my fault is not a sign that I'm abusive and not "me doing something to her"- it is her doing something to me. But, I know it would be pointless. My therapist that I had years ago said to never bother trying to change my mother, just worry about not letting myself get caught up into these family dynamics again. I relaize that therapist only had my side of the story, but I told her the truth and when the therapist wanted/offered to do phone consultation with me and my mother (my mother being the one on the phone), my mother said "no". My worry here, and I'm sure my mother will use this, is her calling GAL. If I try to get Department of Juvenile Justice to hold letters from my mom I will have to go thru the therapist there which would probably not be a problem so much except the GAL will call and make sure I don't if my mom calls her. Never mind that the GAL was in the courtroom when the judge asked me what I was doing to make sure difficult child stayed monitored around my mother. The GAL is so against me that she will do something that is not in difficult child's best interest if it can over-rule me in some way. That was proven by her recommendation against Residential Treatment Center (RTC), then telling difficult child is was my fault that he got committed to Department of Juvenile Justice. [/QUOTE]
