Queen of Hearts
Ever since the tweedles visit together at Christmas, wm's therapist has "refused" to communicate with husband, myself, foster mum & dad. Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker transports wm to & from his therapist appts & sits in so he can "teach" wm what he's learned in treatment to the community.
She cut us off at the knees - kt was looking forward to talking to a woman & the plan to see wm at the very least every other month as therapist had promised. kt is doing her work at this end - wm is not.
Foster mum & I are at our wit's end. We cannot get any information from Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker or therapist. I know, that at this time, every HIPPA that therapist has on file have expired so she shouldn't be communicating with anyone but myself, husband or mental health case manager. AND I'm angry.
I've have tried via phone, email, messages to get therapist to get in touch with me; update me on treatment. Heck, even to let me know when wm's appts are so husband or I can attend. That has been our intent all along. It has been something that had been a regular part of our scheduling each month. Again, no communication.
I'm looking for a different therapist for wm because I need updates & treatment plans on a regular basis & feel that she's failing in that department. The fact whatever wm is working on isn't making it in the community isn't making me feel any more "warmth" toward this lady.
I believe therapist is finally "getting it" because Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker called to invite me to wm's appointment this coming Friday. I let Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker know that I didn't want wm at that appointment ~ my call, I'm the parent ~ that the air needed to be cleared. He could feel free to attend or not but if he intended to continue to be part of the team he may want to show up.
In the meantime, I've lined up our CADI manager & mental health case manager to attend the appointment. Now therapist is trying to back out.....mental health case manager wants some communication guidelines written & he expects them to be followed. He's beyond ticked because he couldn't get an updated report on wm, along with a continuing treatment plan to take to court last month. Mental health CM had to guess & answer questions the judge asked because of her lack of communication. It put him in a very bad place. This man has worked his behind off for our family & I'm livid for him.
The appointment is this coming Friday - I'm attending even if I have to take a taxi (might be a good idea anyway). In the meantime, I'm getting names & numbers of different tdocs. (I was urged not to change tdocs because wm has a connection to this therapist; my reply was that wm has a connection/attachment to everyone but husband & myself. For goodness sake, he's a kid with severe attachment disorder (disinhibited type) - a man on the street is his best friend or his dad.
Okay, got that out of my system - it's been a long time coming. If you hear a loud explosion around 11 a.m. central time from the upper midwest/great lakes area you know that my brain has finally blown.
