[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 635847, member: 1550"] OMG, Janet!!! I would have told her to take him...I'd give her permission. She could raise him for as long as she liked...lol. They don't understand that the things that they do make us feel cold toward them, especially if they are fresh from telling us how evil we are or that we should die. Although I have a lot of respect for GOOD and COMPASSIONATE psychiatrists and psychologists (that is about 15% of them), social workers are maybe behind people who refuse to work in prestige (this is my personal list only...lol). They don't have the schooling of higher level mental health professionals yet they act like they understand the human brain and behavior. They don't have the intensive training to know that. I have had very bad experiences with them, both for my son and myself. CPS social workers are, in my experience, the absolute worst because they weld power over our children and many don't even have any children and certainly not children that behave like ours. JKF, do report her. How horrible for you to have to hear that garbage, especially after what you have been through with and for your adult child. You have done everything possible for him. This post reminds me of the mother of a friend of 36s who had normal children and a Brady Bunch attitude and called me to SCREAM (I do mean scream) because I made him leave. She asked, "Don't you want to TALK to your son?" I said no, I didn't. She blasted me for ten minutes. I listened. Nowadays I would have told her, "You have no idea of the circumstances" and just hung up, but that was then. Three weeks later she threw him out too. Haha. I got no apology. Granted, she is not a mental health worker, but we go through so much with our grown kids, make horrible, heart-wrenching decisions about them, and then we have to put up with this. I'm really sorry you had to deal with that. [/QUOTE]
