[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 177100"] Yep, what Terry says comes to my mind as well. I think you need to detach as much as possible from difficult child's attitude toward you. Do NOT let it get to your self esteem. Instead, develop your own interests and let "his stuff" go over and around you. It is NOT about you anyway, I would be a "united front" with husband when it comes to discipline. difficult child needs to know that the rules have been set up together. Is it possible that husband is going out a little too much? Esp. with a "special needs" child in the home, this child might need to see more of dad consistently. Whether that happens or not, he should know that dad agrees with any and all rules enforced. With reference to the therapist...I don't think it is right that you felt ambushed and you have every right to tell her at the next appointment. I would not make a big deal about this, but explain where you didn't feel comfortable and your hopes that the session will be smoother. She will get the hint that you wont be back if there is a repeat performance. In addition, I would tell the therapist that if she says or implies that you are doing something incorrect, that you would like specific examples or even would be willing to participate in a role play on how you might do something differently. Don't let difficult child come between you and husband. Instead, do the opposite. Nurture your relationship with your SO and work together. [/QUOTE]
