[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 685599, member: 6705"] I agree that this is definitely a problem. My parents picked him up from school to take him to the court class yesterday, and per Mom, he was acting normal for him - quiet, but he always is around her - though she did notice the coat. When Bill went to pick him up, he ran into the coordinator, who also commented on Pat's attire. She wants us to discuss it and the behavior with the counselor. However, easier said than done. Part of what we have been doing with the counselor is letting Pat talk to him alone - without either of us. At the very beginning, the agreement was made OUT LOUD between myself, Bill, Pat and the counselor that we would not be told ANYTHING that Pat said. The counselor did make sure Pat understood the mandatory reporting requirements. (There were issues in the past with counselors telling biomom what he said... Sigh.) So we never go in with him. If we suddenly do so, he will clam up faster than a Venus Fly Trap. To get around THAT, I'm going to type up a detailed letter with EVERYTHING, and hand deliver it this afternoon (that will give the counselor a week to read, call and ask questions, and so on). Yeah, I'm doing a lot of the work on this, but there's a good reason... Bill does quite a lot where Pat is concerned, but he also just started a new job a month ago, so I am the one who can take time off. As for the letter, I have more knowledge and more time! [/QUOTE]
