Today, a licensed child psychologist with 20 years of experience threw my son out after his first appointment, with the immortal line, “You must be taking the piss, there’s a church in town, you’re gonna need their help more than mine.” He’s probably right. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband is furious with me for going behind his back and getting our son a psychological evaluation. His primary care physician, a psychologist, and a pediatric psychiatrist all agree that our son is AuDHD. My husband says no because he “doesn’t believe in that crap.” FML
Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML
Today, my wife is furious with me because I would rather our teenage son see a counselor instead of a psychiatrist. I want our son to learn healthy coping mechanisms for life, not just take pills to make everything go away. FML
Today, I had to bring my youngest (a 3 year-old) with me to my therapist's, due to not having childcare. After waiting 10 minutes, the receptionist called me up to the desk to inform me that my therapist wouldn’t be seeing me, because of my child being there. Nothing like wasting an hour of my time. FML
Today, my father forced me to go to therapy, then dumped out everything I made there into our sink. Apparently, I'm "not a batshit crazy psycho who needed to go to therapy." FML
Today, I finally convinced my mum to take me to a psychologist. As soon as he sat me down and asked me how I was doing, my mum burst into tears and went on a rant about how her life is terrible and she regrets everything. I was asked to sit in the waiting room. She used up my whole hour. FML
Today, I’m pregnant and have been experiencing the most severe depression of all my life. My long-time therapist asked me to think about whether “this is the right time for me to be in therapy,” then dropped me as a client. FML
Today, a therapist told me that I was too depressed to attend his depression group meetings. FML
Today, my dad told me that people requiring psychiatric treatment are just weak and pathetic, and what they really need is a kick up the ass and to get a fucking grip. He told me this not 30 seconds after my doctor recommended I spend some time in a facility for my severe depression. FML
Today, my therapist told me, "I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to handle your level of instability." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are you sure he was licensed and if he was I'd report him. go find another psychiatrist for your child, if you really has a lot of issues that need to be addressed do it now before he ends up in prison when he's older.

I need to know more details of what went down before I can vote. 20 years of experience and snapped immediately on the first session must have some meaning.

Report him for what reason? if a person can't be treated, he has every right to send the child away...

As a professionalist he has no right to drop him like that. At least he should consult other doctors.

There's a HUGE difference between saying, "I'm sorry, I don't think I'm equipped to deal with your son's issues. I recommend maybe X or Y." and "Holy shit your son needs an exorcism." That second one is like, extreme levels of unprofessional.

You need an exorcist. It's probably not your fault that you birthed the demon seed. But, it might be...
