[QUOTE="klmno, post: 370261, member: 3699"] True- and I agree 100%. But the problem is that this leads to difficult child being turned over to DSS and that means my bro, which is not in difficult child's best interest for a lot of reasons- he will cover for difficult child, he has no clue of how to raise any minor and yes, I seriously think difficult child would end up molested by someone. I know it's easy to think this probably wouldn't happen to a teen who's 15, but it happened to me at 15. The more the kid thinks they have all the answers, the more vunerable they actually are. So that is my predicament. If I tell the courts I'm scared of difficult child or that I can't control him at all or that he needs to learn that he has reached his limit with me, a GAL gets appointed, DSS gets called in, and DSS has no choice but to give custody to my bro if difficult child gets turned over to them. It has been this way for a few years and this is how difficult child has found his way to manipulate us all. So what should I do? I can't change the funding and policy issues. I surely can't get my family to see or care that they have done damage to difficult child's chances of turning things around. All I know to do is to pursue this therapy with the VA because they understood dysfunctional families and such so much when the military gave me therapy. I can't see medications solving this. If anyone has any other ideas, please throw them out!! [/QUOTE]
