[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 721188, member: 1233"] Oh, abuse of parents is still rarely recognized. Back when Wiz went to live with my parents, our domestic violence center had never even heard of a parent needing treatment for abuse caused by their child. They offered individual therapy because it is clearly a situation of domestic violence, just not the standard one they see. Normally they insist on group therapy before individual therapy, but there was no group to have therapy with. There are a lot of therapists out there who still think that men cannot be victims of domestic violence, and who have all sorts of other bizarre prejudices about it. So you have to screen your therapist carefully. If the therapist isn't working, or isn't able to adapt to what you need, find another one. Being surprised is one thing. Being unable to cope with it is another. [/QUOTE]
