[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 178682, member: 2423"] I've been told that while CBT is certainly the therapy of choice for addressing anxiety and depression, it is very hard for preteens and even some teenagers to have the ability to be able to do it effectively. If you like your therapist and she has a good relationship with difficult child, I wouldn't be so quick to dump her. He may benefit from having another positive adult figure in his life. In terms of why he's reacting to conflict in this way, I'm guessing it's because conflict makes him anxious. If you do something that makes your husband angry, in difficult child's eyes, you are the cause of a conflict that makes him anxious so he becomes angry with you. He may believe erroneously that conflict can erode all the stable relationships in his life and he will no longer have that stability. Good luck figuring everything out. [/QUOTE]
