[QUOTE="Robinboots, post: 410858, member: 4542"] Yup, same thing here with my difficult child - I remember when a DFS investigator came to see me, with an officer, and the officer told him that if difficult child's talking, he's lying. Actually, I need to probably remember more of this stuff! That particular incident was last April? March? I think March, so a year ago. difficult child was being a butthead and I told him to go to his room. He sat across the desk from me, just smirking and verbally battering me. I walked over to him and spun around the chair and dumped him out. I was ticked. Big time. He got up and I just kept saying GO TO YOUR ROOM, over and over. Then I started pushing him down the hall - not shoving, just trying to move his butt. Not sure what I was thinking, he's 6 ft, I'm 5'3", he outweighed me by 80 pounds. Then I grabbed him by his t-shirt and pulled; ripped the shirt. Not proud of my behavior, but I can only take so much and this was after a looooooooooooong string of incidents, naturally. Anyway, he left. Went to the police station, claimed I hit him over the head - like I could reach - with his heavy Toughbook laptop. They called me, asked what happened, I told them. Then difficult child went to the ER, told them the same story. They called for permission to treat; I told them what happened, told them he had CD and Borderline (BPD) (maybe) and said, hey, here's a thought, treat him for THAT. They called me back, said they'd "encouraged" him to get help, and found no injuries so didn't file a report. Two days later, the aforementioned investigator showed up with the officer. difficult child hotlined me. Go figure. So, after talking to me, finding difficult child - he'd broken into a garage on my mom's farm, she's out-of-state, we both went to see difficult child. He told the same darn story. Outside, the investigator said: that kid cannot go home. He needs help. Oh, yay for the system! Either it's YOUR fault, and the kid's fine, or the kid needs help but oh darn, we can't FIND any help for him. Oh, wait - you said YOU found him some help? Well, okay but we have to APPROVE it all, and it MIGHT work, but hey, just let him run the streets okay? Yeah, right. [/QUOTE]
