wow, I am suprised the therapist tried to talk to S with you 2 in the room! I don't have any experience with counseling for kids but figured they would be more open and honest when their parents aren't present.
Hmm...good point she made about showing your S when you feel happy, too.

She said some of his behavior, like acting defiant, could be testing to make sure I'm still going to do my "job" as a mom and keep him in line,
My SIL's boys gave her the hardest time when her H divorced her. Her therapist said the same thing...want to make sure their mom was still their mom (like the role was the same) and they felt comfortable letting it all out in front of her...
