[QUOTE="Star*, post: 291666, member: 4964"] Witz - you know this is the FIRST time I have EVER told him to NOT NOT NOT bring the dog around - I do not want to even SEE her. Period. Fini! I think you may have something about working for a place that takes care of dogs - I will mention it to him - Board Auntie to Board Nephew. :winking: He asked the foster dad to take him to get his prescription filled tonight? Nope....not enough gas to get there. WHAT? With that - it made Dude upset enough to call his caseworker and get the ball rolling. All this time we've been really trying to stay out of everything and let Dude speak for himself. This has been incredibly hard. Even today as I went to the bank for the company - I pass RIGHT by the building where the caseworkers office is and thought about stopping in - and did not. Dude called me for the number and had a nice conversation with the director about what has been going on. In the past Dudes opinion of these people was less than low. (mine too) This time maybe because he called, and we weren't involved or because they saw him reaching out? I don't know but...they thought it was a GREAT idea. They praised him for doing the research on the apartments, and the community - and finding out about the availability, bus lines, and saying that he felt he could do better for himself there than where he was. He actually spoke for himself. FINALLY. OMG this was so hard for me. I had to find parental duct tape but I swear to you - I could literally hear Witz in my head this afternoon going - Starbie are you SERIOUS you are going where? And Suz saying "Well I don't see you using Detachment 101 at all." and Daisylover going "That's not what I'd do with Nicole but you do what you have to do, and Stang shaking her head and saying "Not good girl." and then Janet going "OH for Gods sake when are you going to let him grow up? and the list of voices and faces just went on and on and even in my head you gals are a force! ( a little scary too) So yeah - I stayed out of it....but it still infuriates me that they treat him like this. Even after so much detachment there is a part of me that hears - "Momma I'm sick, my head hurts still." and wants to rush and bring him here and I think -----nope......nope nope...MUST BE A GOOD EXAMPLE drat you conscience....:knockedout: [/QUOTE]
