[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 573184, member: 1233"] I truly hope you can come to see this as a good thing. Yes, it is scary. OF course it is. It also opens up a whole lot of avenues for you to get help in making her do what she needs to do. Most people don't 'get' a difficult child the way we do. This will put people in place to help you get her to school, and to help support you by watching what you do and hwo you respond so that if you follow what they want and if difficult child still flat out refuses, then you have court officers who can say that you have done EVERYTHINNG you can and that your ex hasn't been willing to step up. Or that he has stepped up and so have you. You do need to work on your confidence and anxiety issues with your therapist. Find a NAMI support group in your area because they can also help you deal with everything both with your bipolar and other issues. This helps you AND your kids, and gives you more support and people who can go an tell the court that you are doing all you can. He really needed to know about the meeting, and if you had kept it from him it would have been a MAJOR reason that you could have lost custody over. Janet is totally right, and he needs to be given the chance to step up, esp as he keeps threatening custody. Much as you are on the 'hot seat', he is too. Now he can't say you are hiding things from him. That is a very GOOD thing. [/QUOTE]
