[QUOTE="slsh, post: 487085, member: 8"] Thinking of you - family therapy was never a whole bunch of fun because it seemed to focus on husband/me, rather than difficult child. If you can, and I know it's hard, when difficult child starts in with the "if you'd only...." or "if you hadn't....", turn it around so that the focus is on difficult child's choices/feelings/actions, rather than your own. Especially at 17... time for difficult child to start owning his own junk rather than placing blame and throwing up smoke screens to distract from his own behaviors. Fingers majorly crossed that therapist will help you to keep focus on difficult child and *his* junk. Hang in there - thinking of you. [/QUOTE]
