[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 730570, member: 22819"] Sorry it's all gotten so complicated. I hate what the psychologist is doing and understand the frustration. It has taken me almost two months to get our "therapeutic team" (two psychiatrists and one psychologist) to start acknowledging (out loud) that my son has a real organic/mental psychiatric problem and not just a reaction to the (unconventional) way I raised him (homeschool, very involved aka "overprotective" ((because I KNEW something was different about him and that he needed it)) They took me through hell and back questioning me and my motives for wanting a diagnosis, but now they are coming around. I have been very diligent at keeping a record of good days and bad days, describing crisis days in detail to them, communicating as much as I can to them, including memories of stuff that happened when he was very little - as they come to me, history of mental illness in my family as I learn about it... We have a group discussion on messenger, so anytime something happens, I immediately let the group know. I believe this, along with them getting to know my son better in therapy sessions, has helped. Would something like this be possible for you? Even if not, I think it could be very useful to write down as much as you can. Things you remember. The order of events. Your take on his problem... Even if you don't know who might eventually read it or when it might be useful, write it all down. [/QUOTE]
