Mental Health Support

therapy that ingrained one kid's distorted perception that she was severely abused, including regular beatings, broke my relationship with her to this day. 14 years later.
and the worst of it is that it was really her very detached dad's attention that she was angling for. he was always receptive to tales of bad mommy.
dealing w these people was a nightmare. here i am, my kid's staunch ally, and they cant see it for the distorted tales.

it was pretty plain that the kid had problems, and so they accepted her tales. such a double edged sword that therapeutic acceptance is.

all i really did was pass on the f'ed up genes from my side of the family.

and for all the early intervention, she is just now starting to come to grips w the fact that she could use some help.
