[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 278447, member: 1991"] Does husband go to the therapy sessions with you? I suspect not. If husband doens't go, then he has already given up on him, nd on your struggle with difficult child. husband is using excuses to not face up to the consequences of his past neglect of the issues. Now it's coming home to roost. Does husband still plan on working away from home for months? That is also giving up on difficult child. The boy NEEDS a hands-on father, you need respite. Tell husband that difficult child needs a parent advocate and it can no longer be you. So husband now has to get very hands-on. Go to the appointments, listen to the therapist, talk to the therapist, go over the list of concerns from BOTH of you. Otherwise - it's all blarney, he isn't committed as he claimes to be. Sometimes keeping a kid at home when it's not working, IS giving up on the kid. Marg [/QUOTE]
