[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 338872, member: 7083"] The thing is...even if the mom (why is it never the dad, by the way????) is mentally ill enough to be "making up" symptoms/disorders in their child, don't you think that child probably needs help anyway? There are clearly cases where the problems of the child is a direct result of parenting. However, that doesn't dismiss that the child has issues that need to be addressed. Maybe not with medications, but at least with therapy. But, saying that 90% of the time it's the mom? No way. Nuh uh. That's a gross generalization and I would run from that psychiatrist - even if he doesn't believe you're in that "90%". Especially when you consider that only 1-2% of the population has Borderline (BPD). And to be blunt, the fact that this psychiatrist has you doing behavior charts for a teenager who has run away, skipped school, has promiscuous sex, has cried wolf with abuse, and is cutting herself has me wondering if he really doesn't think you're in that "90%". *I* know you're not. But, I'm not the one dispensing treatment. I did everything a good little non-Christian (which, by the way, does not negate my ability to parent and love my child) mommy would do and we still are at where we are today. [/QUOTE]
