[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 49017, member: 2315"] Witzend, well if any medications are going to work I am sure we will know by the time difficult child gets out. The prison medical staff is throwing just about everything they have at him hoping something will work. difficult child sent me a letter for my grandchildren I got it yesterday. In it he tells them he will be seeng them before the summer is over. difficult child has it in his head that he will be getting out soon. I think that is what is keeping him going. I am not going to tell him otherwise at this point. I think he is too fragile. Hopefully something wlll open up soon even though the caseworker isn't too optimistic. While it isn't fair that all the othersfrom the initial crime are free. difficult child's sentance was 18 months or the Residential Treatment Center (RTC). That included his assault charge and all the little stuff from before the burgalary. When difficult child didn't make it through the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) program which was an 18 month program the judge gave him a new sentance of 18 months or their freedom program. difficult child didn't manage to through the freedom program either and it was only a 4 month thing. So on one hand, while difficult child is disabled and possibly incapable of doing these programs n the other hand the judge was compassionate in her sentancing. Aside fromt he prison staff who also isn't buying into difficult child's disability (although I think they are a little more lately)it is the PO who basically told me I would be surprised at what people like my son can do when they have to. Well difficult child has to and can't so what now? From what I can tell she would like to see difficult child just rot in jail and she has fallen just a hair short of saying that. Unfortunately she is the one who has the most influence and who recommeded that he be denied parole. She hasn't bothered to work with the case manager not even returning his calls. It doesn't surprise me. She didn't return my phone calls when difficult child attempted suicide or started having sesiures. Then when I went over her head she got nasty with me and denied that I had called more than once. in my opinion She is not suited for this job and is both ignorant of the purpose of the position and moody as all get out. She has had no qualms about yelling at me in the past and seems stressed most of the time when I do speak with her. With any luck she will leave the job and difficult child wil get a better PO sometime in the future.
