[QUOTE="Gone, post: 640374"] A foster carer doesn't usually have to live with the MOTHER of the child in their care , they can just go about their daily routine all calm and undisturbed! Social services don't LIVE WITH THEIR CLIENTS they can just pop in and out of the situation and write their reports etc ... I am the one who is ''left to it'' at all times ie see and keep an eye on my difficult child AND look after / make sure my GS is looked after / is safe from any harm or distress I cannot do it seperately at present it seems and that is just the way it is or seems it will be SS EXPECT me to step in , they don't seem bothered about the affect on MY HEALTH not being flipping SUPERWOMAN , so my focus HAS to be on my GS and try and leave my difficult child to do what she is doing , at least I can babysit when she goes to AA etc and yet the most difficult thing will be to ''keep the peace'' if things 'go wrong' re alcohol or cannabis and I would rather just remove my GS from that situation , that way I stay calm , he stays calm and everything is as 'normal' as possible in what unfortunately is NOT going to be a normal enviroment SO early into my difficult child's 'recovery' but as it was pointed out if she is not CLEAN she is not actually 'in recovery' yet so all the more worrying!!! :-( :-( [/QUOTE]
