I think you are being too literal in interpreting my comments. I I didn't say Heywire should be a therapist to her H, but detach like a therapist would.

How would you teach such a child to learn to be responsible for his own actions and to respect boundaries, to focus on his own pain?


Cobra, maybe I just get confused on where the line is between detaching like a therapist and taking on a role as a detached therapist or councilor.

Heywire, sorry to clog up your thread with this stuff. I really sympathize with what you're feeling and I know that it sucks.
