[QUOTE="Andy, post: 150479, member: 5096"] therapist might be working with difficult child to tell you about the drugs and alcohol. When you started these services, did you get a long list of what they will and will not do? I remember another post that a difficult child was hurt by therapist telling parents a secret, however, if that therapist would have spoken to the parents in private and told them he was working on this issue, then parents would know and difficult child wouldn't have suffered the betrayal. The list of dos and don'Tourette's Syndrome usually include mandatory reporter of abuse and may include report of crime? It should list what will and will not be shared with parents. I don't know, I don't remember what was on our list - at that time I was willing to agree to anything to get help. You can either ask therapist for a copy of what you were told about this (you probably signed it) or maybe the front desk people can help with it. Did you ask therapist about the games? I would also be concerned with how difficult child explained the games. Then again, we tend to jump to the worse case scenerio so asking difficult child for more information and than taking that info to the therapist for verification. If you are starting to feel uncomfortable, follow those feelings. You may find those concerns were unwarranted, but if they are flagging something going on that shouldn't, you need to know. I would start by asking what their policy is about including parents in drug, alcohol, violence, ect. issues that are being worked on. I would think they can give parents enough info without giving away all the 'secrets'. A simple, "difficult child has been involved in some friends who drink, take drugs, etc., I would hope that some day he will be able to give you all the details but for now, I will keep working with this. He states he has not taken a drink or drugs." [/QUOTE]
