[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 211936, member: 3626"] They do love to put the burden on the parents whenever possible. It makes things easier for them. Sadly, I agree with MWM -- follow their program as much as possible. Show that your "neuroses" are under control. Go to any parenting classes/therapy they recommend -- at least they'll be paying for them. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to help another parent just starting down the road of parenting children such as ours. Sometimes you get lucky and get a good CW. I went through 3 before I found my lifeline. The first one recommended that the adoption be disrupted and that I was undiagnosed BiPolar (BP). I wasn't but she decided I had to be because I dared tell her she didn't know her head from her rear when she told me all my daughter needed was to be loved. I had to go to the head of CPS to get switched. The second one was just a complete and total witch. Sadly for her but fortunately for me, she got breast cancer and had to sign her cases over to my lifeline, who is now one of my best friends. She not only understood, she had a son who was very much like my daughter. She helped me find a good Residential Treatment Center (RTC), helped me get some funding (still cost me over $150K but at least some of it was covered), got me Medicare for my daughter, etc. Sometimes you really can get lucky. Hope this happens to you. At least changing of CWs is pretty common. However, until you get a new one who might or might not be better, you really do have to jump through their hoops in order to get help for your child. Stinks, but that's the way it is. [/QUOTE]
