[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 120221, member: 1233"] Sending hugs. Don't blame yourself. It just isn't your fault and it doesn't help. Give yourself a break, you are doing the best you can! Please don't bring up the therapy refusal to him. Andplease, don't make it optional. If he can get out of this by refusing and being terrible, it will only lead to him refusing bigger and bigger things. I know whereof I speak. If he does not go, you may have to decide if you are going to make it an issue. I would, and did, personally. I also let my son know that refusing meant he would have NONE of his things other than a mattress and some clothing. And NO TV. or anything else. He would be room-bound until the next therapy visit that he participated in. I said it, and I was ready to do it. Don't say it if you are not 100% ready to do it, not with anything. But I see this as a big challenge coming your way. Others may have other ideas, like a reward after, or whatever. That may also help. Or, next therapy, get him in the car with-o telling him where you are going? Anyway, it is NOT your fault. Keep sayingit. You know it is true!!! Hugs and a cupof HMJ! Susie [/QUOTE]
