ah yes...when medicare/caid becomes involved therapy becomes a series of jumping thru hoops. Unfortunate.

Mike, if one of my children needed T, I would definitely get a referral from my t for them. It seems logical that your wife would pick someone in the same collaborative. I wouldn't think it common practice for a t to influence a child on which parent is right. I think it would be more like "you can love both parents".

One word of advice though...my h's ex wife is horrid and his daughter paid for that. She is 33 now, and you know what she loves most about her dad? That he has never said an unkind thing about her mother in front of her. Oh, he's vented about her plenty, to me, to friends etc (with good reason)...but never in front of her.
