[QUOTE="klmno, post: 216254, member: 3699"] I don't know all the specifics in your situation with your son, obviously, but I also come from a very dysfunctional environment and am raising my son alone, with no family support. Even before my son showed signs of "difficult child'ness", I would periodically go to a male therapist just to get their opinion on an issue regarding my son. These ranged from things like how to explain to him about his father not being in his life, what do I do when he's over-stimulated, etc. I probably could have done ok without that input, but you know, it helped just to have someone to discuss these things with and more importantly, it made me feel much more confident that I was doing a pretty good job with my son. So, even if you don't need long-term therapy for yourself, I'd suggest just going in to bounce some of these doubts off a male therapist to get his perspective. It might make you feel a lot better!
