[QUOTE="klmno, post: 525579, member: 3699"] DF I completely understand and yes, I think you are right about how they are viewing it and what these "therapies" are set up for. I don't think blaming the parent or the kid is the answer when our difficult children are exhibiting troubling behavior. Personally, I think our whole society these days sets it up for many kids to become difficult children and the people who are supposed to "help support" at-risk youth are really enabling worse behavior and more family turmoil most the time. My son is 17yo now and showing a lot more maturity so I have decided to hang in there and do my best to tread water with the powers-that-be until he's over 18 and out of high school. If your signature is current and your daughter is still 16, I have no words of advice. Actually, I don't have any anyway because only you can decide wwhat is right for your family. Maybe you can at least feel a little better about having validation, even if you are left with the frustration of knowing that they don't have any better answers than you do. [/QUOTE]
