Anyone a Lawyer?

I think that its un-ethical, and that if a register physcologist or physcotherapist truly has done this then you could well have a discussion with the registration people. I think that you would find this would go against there principals etc.

I feel for you and your DH. I have a close family member that I havent spoken to for 8 years as they too were manipulative, drama-queeney and add zero value to our lives.  Its pretty tough sometimes, but in the end I know it was the best decision for me and my family (DH and Oli).

Your priority needs to be Joy, you are a fantastic mummy and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. No one is going to take her away - and threats from your MIL are just plain nasty. I would call her bluff and ask for a family meeting with the physcologist.

 

I think shes lying if she says she had a shrink on the other end of the phone. They wouldn't do that at all!

Yep, that's what we think too, that and the fact that she can't get her own way this time (because I am standing up for myself this time). This is just a big mess from something that was a small issue. She is being very childish about the whole thing. It doesn't matter what we say or do it gets twisted to suit herself. She conveniently "forgets" nasty things she has done and said but anything we say is taken as "attacking her".
I am sooooo over her and the whole thing.

Yeah I agree with Stacey there. 

OK so I've had dealings with a fair few Psychologists through work, and I hate to say it but as stupid a thing as that is to do (if that is in fact what her shrink did), I can think of one Psychologist who has acted very unethically and unprofessionally (royally screwing up the case too).  So it's possible, but not likely.  Reeeally not likely. 

Why would she contact CYFS? On what grounds would she be able to have you investigated??

She wouldn't have any grounds...but it is pretty easy to make something up, she is a good liar and a fantastic drama queen. Authorities would have to investigate if she went that far. It would just be to hurt me and rip my family apart. Just a concern of mine. How much lower can she get kinda thing.

I feel like pressing charges. But then who knows if it is the truth or not. Would be pretty embarrassing for her going that way.
But I also don't want to rock the boat anymore...ignoring her is probably the best for the time being.

I don't know if it's a good sign or not...we haven't heard a word since Sunday when DH went around to talk to her...
