[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 58095, member: 53"] Okay, maybe I'm missing the point, but isn't this something for the therapist to work on with the "client". Are you allowed in the session? I think I would tell the therapist that your reason for coming is that difficult child has problems with authority and you don't want to be caught in the middle of this. You should not be the "assignment police". If the therapist thinks its so important to get this done, then he/she should be the one working with difficult child to find a way to communicate. Not saying that this will make therapist happy, cause it means they have to work longer to get info, but they are getting the big bucks and they have the skills (supposedly) to deal with this. If you said you would work on this with difficult child (to be sure it was done), then my advice was not relavent. Next time tell the therapist that you will not be a part of their relationship and your involvement in working on assignments results in a "tainted" list (it has your ideas/suggestions sneaking in, even unintended), so not real effective. Either THEY work on the writing together or find a different way to get this info out. So unless this is family therapy instead of individual therapy that's what I would do. Keep in mind, I don't know all the facts or background, so use my advice as applicable to your situation. (Can you guess I'm married to an attorney?) [/QUOTE]
