[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 400765, member: 1233"] Don't go. Just because we are parents with kids in therapy who want us there does NOT mean that it is a good or healthy idea for us to attend - ESPECIALLY with tdocs who know the history and will not set boundaries ahead or give you any idea of what is being planned. NOthing good can come from a "beat up mom" session and most difficult children are still in this mindset at his age - and he has shown to be there himself. This feels like a set-up to me - with the tdocs in collusion. Unless there has been HUGE HUGE progress toward consistent appropriate behavior (and the presence of the second therapist in the sessions makes me think this is NOT the case) I don't think that you are needed in any of his sessions. Given your health issues, and your emotional fragility at this time, I would tell wm that your docs do not feel you are strong enough to attend. I am quite sure if you ask them that they WILL say this - it is common sense. You might tell the therapist that your docs would be more likely to approve if you had some idea of what to expect at the session, but currently the health problems are limiting what you are able to do and endure and participate in. Part of me says that wm could be planning something sweet and wonderful - and it is true. But it is so unlikely, esp with the way the adults in control of the session are behaving, that I would NOT risk it in your health. I cannot see benefits here that would outweigh the risks. [/QUOTE]
