[QUOTE="DDD, post: 33867, member: 35"] I may be one of the guilty parties, Janet. Over the years I have been exposed to many Psychologists/Therapists with no advanced education regardless of their intention. Usually I try to avoid the subject altogether but, as happened very recently, when a new person has a child with suicidal ideations I panic for them and try to direct them to the highlest level on the chain. When GFGmom was 5 I finally talked my then husband into going with me to the University where we had an appointment with the head of the psychology department. (Remember, I was still a young thing and had no idea that I would end up a Warrior Mom!) This man had a PHD and after an hour with the three of us suggested "perhaps it would be best if you found a residential placement for her and just moved on with your life". :(( My husband thought that was a great idea. Eventually I found some help from qualified people. When you are young and your life has gone to He__ in a handbasket I think it is a good thing that people redirect you to seek help from others "if" you don't feel really comfortable. DDD [/QUOTE]
