[QUOTE="klmno, post: 491532, member: 3699"] I'm thinking that's 'the moment' that po's super is trying to create next week with this videoconference, so that will be her moment not mine. First she told me it was going to be a conference for all of us to get things on the table then they'd make a decision (yeah- like I haven't heard that before) but then she called me back 2 days later to inform me she'd be talking to difficult child first, then she'd bring me in for the end. I can only assume this is going to be 'her moment' to lay down the law to me over what the po's orders are and my requirements. Frankly, I'm not so sure I'm going to show up. difficult child knows he has to abide by whatever they say. We don't need the drama. They can send me a letter. I'll deal with difficult child and try to work on our relationship in private. I'm going to see him Sunday. I'll express concerns again and see how things go. I don't think I will be prepared on Christmas to tell him his destiny. I'm not so sure I will even be positive aabout it then. But most definitely, I can express concerns about his future and what happens if "A B and C". I most definitely agree that this kid needs to know it wasn't a given, no matter what. If I wasn't a single mom and had other people here to help oversee safety, this would be a lot easier. on the other hand, it's not difficult child's fault that I'm a single mom and all he has either. It made quite an impact on me when difficult child was released last year only to find me selling stuff from our nice home- furniture that had been in the family and stuff he knew I'd worked for, etc, - and he threw his arms up in the air and told me to save myself because he was 'going back'. Yeah, I get him giving up- but I also get him bailing out on me after all that had happened. Somehow I'm thinking a 20-something 'mentor' doesn't have the answer to this. And half the people in csu MIGHT if they cared enough even to know about it. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
