[QUOTE="branbran, post: 80145, member: 3762"] You poor thing, you sound completely exhausted and at your wits end. What a shame that you cannot count on your child's "GRANDPARENTS". So much for family support huh? As for the ignorant therapist, please, it's so easy for them to tell us what to do and how to do it, and when their stratedgies don't work they blame us. I would like to see some of these so called "professionals" take our children home for just one day and truly see what it's like dealing with them. My daughter's therapist used to tell me to set limits and stick to them, I'm the parent and I need to maintain control. Why didn't I think of that????? It's quite difficult setting limits and gaining control of an uncontrollable child who's will is much stronger than my ability to keep sane!!! I want advise from a therapist who actually has a difficult child and knows firsthand what living with a mentally ill child is like, how hard the day to day life is, how hard it is to get them to do normal things like brush their teeth or do their homework. You know the saying, "Walk a mile in my shoes....." Sounds like you need a new therapist. You are a great mom, a mom who does more for her child in one week than most moms do for their's in an entire year!!!!! We do the best we can and that is all we can do. People who do not have difficult children, even the professionals, can never know how hard it is raising a child with mental illness, nor can they ever know how heartbreaking it is. Stay strong and keep on fighting. My prayer's are with you. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
