H's first week at preschool has gone really well. The last two days, he's been so pleasant, it's like a completely different child from the past two months. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's going to continue because I really, really need the preschool situation to work. If it doesn't, I have no idea what we'll do with him.

I think therapy would be good for her if she'd sstick to it and learn from it. I admit, I'm not sure she would.

I tend to be more pro-therapy than most people. B doesn't think it would do her a lick of good, but then again, I think B could use some therapy and he doesn't think it would do him any good, either

I can kind of see his point in that therapy only works if the patient is willing to be honest and I think she'd just be using it to enhance her "victim" status in her own mind. I'd like to be wrong, though.

She made a terrible, terrible mistake she's never actually taken responsibility for, but it isn't my story and it would be inappropriate to share that with people who we have to see in a professional context, I think.

I totally agree- that is NOT something the teachers need or want to know about. She shouldn't be saying anything either- but the likelyhood of her keeping it zipped sounds pretty low.

You're right. If someone isn't receptive to therapy, barring some pretty extreme circumstances, it probably isn't going to be beneficial to them. I think the fact she is actively acknowledging she needs it, however, is a good sign. I hope
