[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 63160, member: 2211"] I asked difficult child if she wanted to see her counselor and she said yes. The counselor wasn't in today and is booked tomorrow but will call difficult child and at least speak with her in the AM. difficult child told me why she was crying - same story as usual; she messed up and got a ticket for possession of alcohol and was afraid to tell us and also was upset with herself for 'messing up again'. I also found out the the pukey exbf didn't just threaten to hit her, he did hit her. Apparently, when she saw the counselor earlier this week, that is what was discussed and that's why it was determined that she would get individual counseling as opposed to family. Obviously, the individual counseling will focus more on difficult child learning how to make better choices in the future, learn from any mistakes and also how to handle herself when life doesn't go as planned. I would much rather her counseling be about helping her get to adulthood healthier than about dredging up old crap anyway, so I'm glad about this. I think this counselor may actually be pretty sharp, sharper than I expected. difficult child and I were talking about her today and difficult child said she thinks the counselor may have been a "little wild when she was younger, but look at her now!" lol - she passed muster with difficult child and that's a big deal. First in a very long time. I also called the local community college today to get more info on the art classes difficult child was interested in and difficult child agreed to meet them at 1, after she got herself out of bed. We met with them, she chose 2 classes and she filed her application. I is good - she seemed both a little nervous and relieved and hopeful. Later, we went to a movie and she helped me make dinner. It turned out to be a good day. Tomorrow we're going to the beach I think, if it's nice out. Thanks everyone, for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
