[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 47405"] When my son was diagnosis'd with depression, he told me all the time how much he hated me. He was very cold about it, too. He would leave notes on my door, my bed, my bathroom sink - everywhere. He would say to me, "You know much how you say you love me? Well, that's how much I hate you." Within the last couple weeks I learned from a friend of his that he had a journal during that time filled with page after page of how much he hated me. Did he really? No. He had a lot of anger and he was very, very ill. I was the safe one he could direct his anger to because he knew I wouldn't abandon him. Did he tell everyone he hated me? I'm pretty sure of it. My point is this: this was a reflection of his illness not of his true feelings. Yes, it hurt when he said those things, but I learned to detach the words from the kid and assign them to the illness. I could see how miserable he was. You take everything from husband and difficult child as a personal attack. I think it would greatly benefit you to read up on detachment. You need to have a meeting with therapist to discuss what treatment methods are being used. Find out how therapist perceives these things your son says/things/feels. For example, does he think it's a manifestation of his illness and how is it being addressed in therapy. The school is required to provide an education to your son. Calling you to pick him up after he's been to school for 10 minutes is not providing your son with an education. [/QUOTE]
