[QUOTE="klmno, post: 244509, member: 3699"] That's what Crazy was suggesting- ok- I'll put it back on my list to call them tomorrow am. This one attny (that I'm paying- or had hired before) has a son with adhd/possible BiPolar (BP) and he seemed pretty compassionate, and he knows all the history about difficult child, my family, the custody case, etc. So, there is a lot that would be good for an attny to know so he/she can refer to. Otherwise, it seems like people automatically assume that what PO says is true and stuff like that. Or, like suggesting that difficult child just go live with a family member for a while. And this attny also told me today that there is not a lot of time to prepare for the case at this point. BUt, I will call and see. I think difficult child is stable in the sense that he's working with them. But, I tend to think he has a little cycling going on between the depression and feeling hyper. That's one of the main reasons that I want to see if he's really tellling them this stuff and if they are comparing notes. He said he told the teacher today that he was having trouble focusing today. If they put that with him telling someone else that he felt hyper and might be getting manic, then with another's notes that he was agitated and felt like he was having trouble keeping his cool, yet 2 days ago he was saying he was depressed and sleepy all the time, maybe they can start to see something. And, this is in an ideal environment- if he was at home/in the community, these "moods" would be more extreme and harder for him to deal with, I think. According to difficult child, the kids are allowed to talk to someone (a therapist or psychiatrist) at ANY time, on request. He says he does this. Plus, he says they teach him how to handle the different things- like if he's feeling that way and has to sit in class with a very annoying kid (difficult child's words). They do have chores and levels they have to work thru, but, in a "true" Residential Treatment Center (RTC), there would be more, I feel sure. Do they have tdocs available often in Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s to help teach things like this? [/QUOTE]
