[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 429255, member: 6546"] Thanks for the re-enforcement... I swear, in the face of these "experts" I still begin to doubt myself. It's nice to hear that I am not being un reasonable in my thinking. I am also wondering - Is there a possibility that this is a way for a new therapist to, in effect, "Call our bluff " ? IOW - the parents complain that they have a problem child. The family does not seem to be making progress in therapy. Now they are demanding more services (which cost more money). The parents say the child is dangerous....well, let's see it then. Let's SEE some brawling, some blood, guts and gore....let's SEE the parents call the cops... So at the moment, husband and I are of two minds: Either tell Ms Ally and Idiot Caseworker and senile psychiatrist that we are DONE. -or- Follow Ms Ally's plan to a "T". Write out this huge, complicated and overly-wieldy behavior contract, get difficult child to sign it, and the next moment she gets in a bad mood - we pounce on her with this contract and begin to confront her for stomping, yelling, door slamming - consequence, consequence, consequence! Which will invariably lead to a HUGE escalation and violent outburst - requiring at the very least police presence, and possibly hospitalization... so that we can then turn to Ms Ally, bruised and bleeding, and say "See?" *************************** I don't know how realistic either of these ideas are right now... mostly, we are still processing our emotions over this latest suggestion. We are frustrated with this whole process. AND I got a call yesterday from Idiot Caseworker's supervisior wondering how the state's services are helping our family. I had to tell her that we have not received any services from the state yet, and we have not heard from Caseworker since end of April. Supervisor seemed surprised... so TODAY I get a call from Idiot Caseworker with a long rambling story about how she can't do anything because her supervisor is on vacation, so maybe she'll find some service for us in June...but she's not really sure, so she'll give us a call sometime then... ***************** And difficult child is threatening to go live with her friend L. I think that would be GREAT! Maybe L's parents can sign a legal guardianship agreement and then THEY can take difficult child to all the psychiatrists and tdocs and therapists etc etc etc I'm sorry. I know that I am just rambling and venting and there really IS no easy answer.... Thank you all for listening and for understanding. [/QUOTE]
