[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 257296, member: 47"] I can't imagine situation #1 even though Dan was violent, he never was towards me as he knew I was not afraid of him and if he dared raise his hand to me, I would have taken him out or died trying. Situation #2, someone would have been a really sorry sight if they had dared put a hand on him - he has always been able to defend himself, even at 14. Myself, personally, I would take situation #1, and play the game they want you to play. You KNOW there is no fairness to the legal system when it comes to the mentally ill - all they know, all they will ever know, is a punitive response..period I have so been there done that with Danny. The being a squeeky wheel thing doesn't work..at all. The only result is YOU end up going nuts trying to make someone who only deals with black and white look at a shade of grey. But I thought this was a done deal with him being in jail for however long? I never stopped advocating for Dan, even while he was in custody, especially when it came to his medications which they never gave him or gave him hit or miss. They probably still have a zillion letters from me which always started "To put you on notice"...I wish I had a dollar for every time I went back to court for an order for medications, and the jail just blew off the judge anyway. I waded thru I don't know how many PO's before he landed with one that got the "mental health issues and problems" But I am with ML, if there is nothing you can do now, then take some time for yourself to recoup from the craziness, see a therapist, get yourself some medications.
