[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 47648, member: 393"] Kjs, This seems to have become a family issue (mental illness frequently engulfs an entire family). Seems to me, it would be beneficial to all to have the entire family in therapy - not just difficult child. For very different reasons (attachment issues), neither of the tweedles attend therapist appointment with-o either husband, myself or both of us in the office. Yet, we clear the air almost every time we walk in therapist's office. therapist has backed us up as parents; however he has worked with husband, myself & one tweedle or another to learn to work out different concerns, behaviors & reactions to said behaviors. We've worked on the tweedles perception of what is going on versus school reports, in home therapist reports & parents reports. The tweedles always get to share their "side" of the story. It's never allowed to be accusatory; anger is addressed appropriately. Having said all that, would therapist agree to guidelines? Blurting out hurtful statements will not help the situation. difficult child needs to learn that words can be hurtful & once out of his mouth cannot be taken back. They may be forgiven, but are seldom forgotten. A mom/wife starts to protect her heart from verbal, hateful attacks. Something to consider. [/QUOTE]
