Re: Apalled at the Therapist

[Guest guest]

Since your son's therapist is inviting you in for a counseling session, why

don't you just go and see what this letter is really all about. I would

certainly want to discuss your son's problems face to face with the therapist.

Hmph. Therapists can be fooled as easily as anyone else. Sounds like you're

being accused of having a (factitious) mental illness--Munchausen Syndrome by

Proxy.

Please ask the therapist what concrete evidence he or she has to accuse you of

such a thing.

Apalled at the Therapist

Just had to vent. I just got a letter from my 30yr old sons counselor.

What ever degree an M,A. LMHP is! this is the letter

I wanted to write you a quick note and tell you how well Mick is doing

in therapy. He is making great progress on his addictions. As you might

know LouAnn everyone has addictions that they must work through during

their lives.

From listening to the experiences that you and Mick have been through it

is obvious how much you truly love him. It also seems that you are used

to him being sick and are not used to him being healthy. I am kind of

baffled why it is so important to you that Mick must be treated like a

child and why you want to pretend he has " bi-polar " .

I understand you want the best for Mick, but I also wanted to invite you

to come into therapy for yourself...I understand that soon your younger

son will be out of the center he is in, and I am hoping that you might

be able to stop needing your children to be sick, before he gets out. If

you would like to schedule an appointment to work on these challenges

please let me know.

I have dealt with this for 30 yrs with their father and surely don't

NEED them to be sick. This is exactly the IGNORANCE that keeps our kids

from getting the proper help! If my family were well they wouldn't

continually make the same mistakes and end up incarcerated.

This year I was running to three different institutions.

They add insult to injury!!

Thanks for the vent

Has your son made any progress with this particular therapist? Has he been

seeing this therapist for a short or long time and has this been your only

correspondence or interaction with this therapist? That " note " seems a little

strange.

I to have been waiting for some one to help my daughter , BPD,S hide it so

well that they seem tjo keep there therapists dancing around these professionals

dont l;ive with it so they dont know what they are doing.

referances to insest my daughter asked me what does that mean? (she reads at a

fourth

grade level) I should have that idiots job.
