[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 184380, member: 3485"] I definitely think that the "visit" was a pretext too. You and husband were wise to ask questions. There's a high probability that my wife and I will be having to deal with this kind of thing too at some point, I believe. Like you, we've made a firm decision that difficult child will not live with us again. But there's a gray area with in-home visits. I think you all did just right to dig beneath the surface assurance that it was just a week. It is a shame that you have to be on your guard like that, when with a easy child you needn't give it a second thought. And why do difficult children keep thinking that their subterfuges will work? It's all of a piece with repeatedly failing to learn from experience, I guess. We do, but they don't. In the past I don't know how many times difficult child tried to feed us a story that was so full of inconsistencies and illogic that it crumbled under the least scrutiny and ended with her screaming "Why don't you trust me?"
