It is absolutely ridiculous to make you go to counseling together. Ridiculous. For an divorced couple to be forced into counseling together, much less where there was abuse. The marriage is over, I get taking co-parenting classes for both parents but not together or individual counseling or for the child, but it's just stupidity to attend counseling together-I don't care what the court ruled or what PHD has that opinion, plus it sets up more opportunities for conflict. Like you said, that's why your divorced why slam your head into the same wall over and over and over again?

THAT was so unnerving for you I am SURE - but a necessary evil to show what is in Taz's head and the root of his behavior! I think it is instrumental to the process and hope you can hang in there. I LOVED the response of the psych that you are not alienating DD. Dear heavens - that man is a total bag of worms. But at least Taz is expressing his ugly thoughts - I suppose that is the process of him working through them. I wonder if anything the dear psych says will sink in for him?

And the whole entitlement thing - someone needs to hit Taz over the head with a stupid stick - although I would dare to say that is the evidence that he has the personality disorder big time!!

I agree with the immersion part - that it will get him used to seeing you so he can handle parenting Ave. Good work - you took the high road better than most. You have my greatest empathy. You really do.

Reading this I can understand why some parents try to just disappear with their children.

As for "... X says "Im only doing all this out of spite anyway. To get back at her for ruining my life". The doc said "Really? & I thought you were coming here, going to court, etc, to see your child & try to make your relationship with her a positive one" & X says "Oh yea, that too"." well that says it all doesn't it.
