[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 390938"] OK First remember that whatever the therapist is telling him is based on what he is telling him or her. You don't really know what the therapist is saying, you just know what your son is telling you he is saying. It could be your son is trying to tell you that is how he feels but he is blaming it on the therapist rather than being able to say how he feels. So I would be real careful about jumping to conclusions about the therapist. That said there are good therapists and bad therapists. I think what I would do in this situation is ask your son if he has signed a release so that you can talk to the therapist. That might give you a clue into how your son is feeling. In either case call the therapist and say you want to touch base. If he has not signed a release then the therapist will not be able to tell you anything but you can at least let him know your concern. I think you will have a better sense of the therapist after you have talked to them. And remember even if your son feels that somehow your relationship is toxic that doesn't mean it is true. It is his perception of things at this time and 17 year olds can have pretty skewed preceptions at times. [/QUOTE]
