So, kind of a weird situation... DH and I are seeking the help of a licensed social worker because of all the issues I've been having lately with skids, which as led to marital distress. I've been looking around the city, and apparently the only counselor/therapist that has specific training in Step-parent issues is the same counselor BM used when she had court-ordered therapy due to our harassment restraining order against her! It was 3-4 years ago, and I know she only went for a few months because she had to, and DH says he doesn't know if this is the same therapist for sure. But I do.
Is it a conflict of interest for her to work with us? I'm not so much worried about professionalism, but she couldn't possibly be unbiased when all she heard was crazy manipulative BM's side!? BM actually sent DH an email once stating, "my therapist said I could do it" regarding something we didn't agree for SS7 (at the time) to have/do. Of course we're assuming this is BM's manipulation of actual conversation with her therapist.

Needless to say, we've seen a couple other therapists over the years, and I really think someone who specializes in step-parenting is a must.
Do we try it out? I'd hate to start out with her and find out after a few (nicely priced) sessions that it won't work...

Thoughts???
