I'm not sure what you'd be reporting her for, though. Her daughter for pseudo-abandoning her son? Though that's iffy, she technically left him with you. What would you be reporting the therapist for?
Sounds like you'll need to set out strict ground rules with the daughter, if you have to be blunt, be blunt. No buddies, no confidences, no babysitting. She sounds like someone who if you give an inch she takes a mile (is that the expression?) so you may have to really spell things out. Good luck!

Well, the ex T has also said a few things she probably shouldn't have. Like when she saw my Husband on the porch with me she said something to the effect of "well, lord knows we've talked about him enough in therapy". And today, her grandson said "I know how you know my Nanna." I said "Oh yea, how's that?" he said "don't be mad, but she said you were her patient" and he also started listing a bunch of names (first and last) of other clients she has. That and the fact that she's kind of unloading her personal issues on me. She's clearly not the most ethical of therapists....but she's like 70 years old, and clearly doesn't have an easy life...I'm not going to cause more trouble for her.
But to answer your question, I think that is what my T was wanting me to report her for. I'm not going to do that....but now I'm confused as to if I can talk about this incident in therapy this week. My T is new (phd student) and very "eager", her and I also have a great relationship, and she gets a little worked up sometimes if I tell her someone is bothering me. (Not worked up in an inappropriate way, you can just tell she doesn't like it)
