[QUOTE="Bean, post: 329273, member: 8620"] I'm sorry, hon. Big hugs going out to you. I hope you can feel them. :) I won't get started too much on the system, because it has frustrated me so. I tried for [I]years[/I] to get my teenager help, and literally ended up with nothing. No matter how many times she ran away, was explosive/abusive - nothing. I even tried calling Social Services to tell them that there was child abuse going on in my home -- but the abuser was one of the children. Nothing. They said if she had an I.E.P. it would have helped. She didn't, and she failed out of school. I very much regret not getting her evaluated, but then trying to do that is a whole 'nother batch of hoop-jumping, at least in our school district. At any rate, I had my child arrested, too. Basically the majority of the times she got in trouble was because of things we'd report. It was the only way we could get her any help. I can't say it was ever a comfortable thing to do, not at all. But then having her run the streets wasn't comfortable either. Most people who have been there done that will tell you to call, report and keep record, and I tried to do that to the best of my ability. Right now my kid is on probation and surely using. I could report her, but I'm not sure if that's the right answer, right now. We do the best we can. Anyway, welcome :) [/QUOTE]
