[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 705848, member: 17720"] So sorry for your and your husband's pain, MM. Well. Isn't that nice and professional of the other therapist to hold herself out as a shining example of how to navigate turbulent waters. And how nice of her to bail on you, once she found out how deep the water was. Situation vs. relationship...I think a lot of us struggle with that, even those of us who have been at this for awhile. There is typical teenage stuff, then there is the stuff that started when they were teenagers and goes on for the next 5, 10, 20 years, to the point where it can no longer be called a "situation." But your daughter is young. I agree, her "hating" you and "not liking you" means that you are not giving her what she wants, which is to be left alone to go off the rails. You are being good parents, and she doesn't want good parents right now. I ditto what SWOT said about therapists. Keep looking until you find one that pushes you (or daughter) the right distance out of your comfort zone, if that makes sense. Oh, and by the way, you can really write! [/QUOTE]
