UN-*-ING BELIEVABLE!!!!
[Quick re-cap: we have an MST worker who is primarily focused on parenting and the parent/child relationship...and we've been waiting for someone/something to work with difficult child and her issues directly.]
We have been waiting for months - MONTHS - to get some kind of services through the state. Caseworker continues to tell me that she's "working on it"...
Finally, I get a call that they have contracted with an agency who can help difficult child work on her anger issues. Great! Whoo-Hoo!
Caseworker tells us she will have us meet two different in-home therapists to see which one is a better "fit" for our family and "clicks" with difficult child. OK-great!
Well, today we get to meet the first therapist....who runs from the door as soon as she hears our dogs barking (I guess caseworker didn't think to mention the dogs - and therapist is terrified.).
As for the second therapist? Well, there IS one...and we could pick her if we want...but she's already overbooked and won't really have time to work with difficult child...
Any other options? Well, caseworker is "working on it".
AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!
