[QUOTE="ksm, post: 465821, member: 12511"] I made an appointment for husband and I to see a new therapist - just for us. Not the one that see's difficult child. And during the meeting I pointed out that I felt like I had to play bad cop and he did the good cop routine. Like when difficult child was having a meltdown, he would try to calm her down by being "understanding" on how I got upset easily because I wanted the best for her... blah blah blah. Not really putting me down - but not backing me up, either. That was the first thing the therapist set him straight on. No more good cop for him! And now, he will some times step in when he knows there is going to be a conflict and handle it with out me. We have been married 28 years - and now raising our adopted grandchildren. Not always fun.
