[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 499928, member: 6705"] DF, k - yes... We referred to our situation as "down the rabbit-hole" before I ever found this board... It's so very true... The justice system ISN'T interested in justice. They are interested in blame. The county children's services are interested in aging out and pushing so much ludicrous paperwork at you that many people give up. Those are the warrior moms and dads who aren't here... Those who have just flat given up trying. Even though several of us are at the "throw in the towel" point, we're not throwing the towel in on our kids - it's on those who are supposed to be helping our kids. We're pushing the kids themselves to the sink or swim point. The fact is, "people in general" cry out and make a big hullaballoo about MH, but unless they are directly affected by their own difficult child (child, sibling, parent, friend)... They don't act. We do. We have to. And no matter what we do, we are blamed for being bad parents. But how can we not try? [/QUOTE]
