[QUOTE="Castle Queen, post: 608009, member: 15910"] Bunny- This is one of the reasons I am questioning the need for a new therapist. difficult child won't discuss his dad's death much at all with the current one. Or really with anybody. So the benefit of having a therapist that he's familiar with doesn't seem to be leading to more openness on difficult child's part. IT seems like most days, anyways, he is not in touch with his real feelings at all. Insane/MWM- the neuropsychologist did maybe 6 hours of testing all told. I knew it seemed low, but it was what was offered. She also seemed to excessively rely on statements made by me and his teacher on questionaires. I just found out she moved back to Washington State, go figure. There is one more neuropsychologist in my area, two really, but the other one refused to evaluate him a few years ago when we first asked. If I am honest with myself, I will admit that right now the only reason I am staying with my fiance is because I have no way to handle childcare while I work, without him. difficult child cannot be alone and there are no before or afterschool resources for him in this tiny town. I will begin by making an appointment with his guidance counselor. I think that is one bridge difficult child hasn't burned yet. It will feel good to at least be moving, even if we are just treading water. [/QUOTE]
