[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I’ve been to several “family” sessions with DC. I always get the lion’s share of the blame, for several reasons. One, XDH is a complete mess emotionally and financially (really, the stories are nuts but I don’t want to out him, he’s in enough trouble) so when his name comes up, DC and the therapist say “that’s too bad,” roll their eyes, and move on to me. I was the parent who held things together, and so I wasn’t popular. XDH had ADHD among other issues. But worst is XDH didn’t want to do any hard parenting, including academically or consequences for a police violation. I’ve had 1-2 of DC’s therapists tell them they were lucky to have me. But it always comes back to how awful I was (once I threw a shoe at a wall! When I smelled pot in my living room I complained about it!). I’m over it. PP who said some therapists cause harm are right.[/quote] There are bad therapists, just like there are some bad parents. All are human.[/quote]
