Not sure about this

So my youngest boy goes counseling twice a month. He has since their mother left them. But today the counselor said he felt that he was doing fine and thought it was time to stop his appointment. They insurance company said he has reached his maximum limit on appointments this year.

I don't agree and I told him that. I said he still misses her and he still struggles with her leaving him.

He said well im sorry but if the insurance won't approve anymore appointments he couldn't do anything until next year.

I said I would request a new counselor and he said he wouldn't recommended it and my insurance wouldn't approve it either. He's reached him limit this year and would have to wait until next year to return to canceling.

I asked my hasn't my daughter reached her limit.

He said that was coded differently because my daughter has a diagnosis and my son does not.

He said he was sorry but it was out of his hands.

So I it's not his fault but holy f@ck I'm pissed off right now

I tired to call my insurance but apparently people start celebrating the 4th of July on July 1st and got voicemails.

So yeah I'm pissed right now

If your son has built up a rapport with this counsellor then finding a new one is not going to help in the short-term.

@ArtieKat but if he refuses to see him even if I pay out of pocket I don't have much of a choice.

@Cigarguy101 Or else you accept that he, as a trained professional, has assessed that your son no longer needs counselling and should just get on with his life. I accept that he's going to miss his mother but that's human nature. Nobody can "fix" that in my opinion.

I'm sorry because I know this isn't what you want to hear.

@ArtieKat I know it's not the answer I want because one he's almost 7 and two he's still struggling. He still gets sad, confused or mad at times. I'm curious how you think a 7 year old should just get in with his life. She walked out on us with out a saying anything. He never got to know why, he still struggles with this because he can't get closer. I find it interesting that no one says anything about my daughter being in counseling but I'm criticized for wanting to help my boy.
