[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 486517, member: 6546"] Yep - sounds like I'm preaching to the choir! TeDo--Yes, I think the therapist takes difficult child's version of events before really thinking it through. It was clear that difficult child has been telling her all kinds of things that are out-and-out lies. Sadly, therapist has not yet learned that most everything difficult child says must be verified before acting on it. K--Yes, exactly. How is this teaching difficult child to start taking responsibility for herself if the plan is just to go back to Mom and Dad and whine about how we arer being "unfair" ??? Insane--That's what I think, too....difficult child is more receptive if things are coming from anybody besides the parents Step--Yeah - a therapist listening to a parent? That's new! Bunny--Exactly! At what point does difficult child have to begin learning how to take the reins of her own life? KTMom--Yes - I am grateful that the therapist is willing to listen and then go back to difficult child and work on the things we discuss instead of following her own agenda. Buddy--Sad isn't it? I guess we've been in therapy a little tooooooo long... Methuselah--Yeah, I don't know what it will take to get through to these kids that the gravy train (and this IS the gravy train, despite how they describe it) is going to end. Oh well - maybe some of those other folks would be happy to open their doors to these "poor, sweet" children....er...adults. [/QUOTE]
