[QUOTE="klmno, post: 247107, member: 3699"] Same here- the only person in my family who would be able to take difficult child is my half-bro, but that would be a disaster for difficult child- for several reasons. The family that I would trust to raise difficult child would not be able to due to age, health, reasons. So, I have a short list of a few people outside the family of people I would want asked to take guardianship if something happens to me. No, I have not discussed it with those people (like I should) because it would make things to awkward. difficult child has met them. The first couple on the list are people difficult child said he would love to live with if he ever couldn't live at home and they were my first choice too. Other than that, he would need to be placed in foster care. That was another thing I testified about last year when difficult child wasn't in court that day because we were there about ordered treatment. Then after we covered the stuff about the custody case, I told the judge all this because I knew she and this GAL would be the ones overseeing what happened to difficult child should I be incapacitated or die. I told her that I wanted it known in front of all of them that I never wanted my family to have custody and why and that I wanted difficult child to stay in this state and be placed with a good foster family with a mom and dad, both, if the couples on my list attached to my will, could not accept responsibility for difficult child. I did that because I cannot trust my bro not to suddenly have my will disappear- he has done worse in his life and I KNOW he would do that. I have wondered if this had something to do with the judge giving difficult child a suspended sentence until he's 21yo, when he was only 13yo at the time. (I had also told her that my son might be one that needed parental authority until he's 21 instead of 18 due to needing psychiatric hospital care or medication management or other things pertaining to his mental health) I know she told her court reporter that all I was saying was "off-record" but the judge was doing a lot of typing on her own computer.
