ROFL.
You read all the things I *didn't* write perfectly. Just perfectly.
I was even thinking of picking a fight. :)
Yes, those are great ideas. I've still got that envelope.
I do need help with being a parent to an older child, definitely. But... He doesn't have any kids, but he has a stepdaughter who became his stepkid at not too much older than my son is now. The problem is that all indications are that he's not feeling very successful in the role. And he seems totally at a loss when I talk about parenting, other than to mouth some useless platitudes that don't really fit. :(
I think we need to replace my son's play therapist, maybe this time with a family therapist.
This is a very solveable problem, I think. It's just that he doesn't see it as a problem, so I'm not getting his cooperation. I think he rather enjoys things this way. He seemed almost annoyed the other day when I talked about despair and suicidal ideation. Almost like a friend who doesn't want to hear me talk that way. Or who is angry with me for feeling that way.
