[QUOTE="Andy, post: 246039, member: 5096"] :grrr::tearinghair: Oh boy can I feel your frustration! Here you are, no one in your home listens to you and then when you go for help, you are asked what are YOU going to do about it? difficult child and husband both need to wake up and take some responsibilities for their own well being. difficult child watches as your husband ignores you so why should he do something he doesn't want to do when you ask? Dad doesn't and he wants to be like dad. My difficult child has a great therapist. He really sends the message to difficult child that Mom and Dad are in charge of the household and as a kid, difficult child needs to obey Mom and Dad's rules even if he doesn't like them. I took easy child to a therapist one time when she was about 10 years old. We did not go back. He pretty much told us to let her set the household routine for the night. He also admitted that he normally does not work with kids and once our "FREE" sessions were done, he would refer us to someone who did. You can bet I wrote a letter to our Human Resources regarding that one - if an employee's child is having problems, the children's therapist better be the one utilized from the start. Anyway - I am sharing your frustration. It is 3:16 am and I am still up. Pretty soon one of us can start the morning post? I think I am going to try going back to bed. I hope you find a crack in that cement wall you are facing. The guys being gone for a few days will be a good break for you! Maybe your difficult child will miss you enough to start appreciating you once in a while? (It is the middle of the night - we can dream) [/QUOTE]
