[QUOTE="klmno, post: 264945, member: 3699"] I have my ,list of stuff that is many pages long. I had given it to dss when the gal first got involved and dss had to do a home check because difficult child had committed 2 felonies and gal requested it. (This wasn't an abuse allegation- it's just to make sure it's an acceptable household). Anyway, the dss assessor determined that the state or county could not do more than I was already doing for my son. No one in the legal system has wanted to take the time or been interested in this kind of stuff. And if they were, they are people who think they are smarter than the mental health profs. Janet, we are talking about a situation where I would make parental decisions and stick to them, after discussing them with psychiatrist. I would relay this to the PO- the PO never verified with psychiatrist and told me and difficult child together that she didn't agree- she thought it should be "X" instead of "Z". This caused BIG problems between difficult child and me. The legal people run the show- whatever the mental health profs say goes by the wayside, unless they do whatever the legal people say. And the legal people aren't experienced in mental health issues like warrior moms- they seem to think that is all a joke and an excuse. They seem to think that if difficult child was rx'd something and had a therapist, then he should be cured after 6 mos. They just don't get it but are so convinced that they know it all, they won't consider anything coming ahead of their own opinion. It's toxic. GAL stood in my face and told me that this mkust be my fault because difficult child lived with me. She could have discussed things with psychiatrist but didn't. I don't think I see how to make them give any weight to what the mental health profs say- they had a letter stating difficult child needed a psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and that state Department of Juvenile Justice would be a detriment in his case, and difficult child's OWN GAL went to court and said "he shouldn't go there (Residential Treatment Center (RTC)) because she didn't trust me not to pull him out." It's stupid- am I sitting here at home right now stating that I want to go get him and bring him back before we get some things worked out and he learns his lesson? I probably sound frustrated- it's not at you. These people are just worse than dealing with the sd people. It really is like an IEP meeting where they don't need the parent's permission- where they really can tell you how they are going to do things and if you don't agree, your kid gets kicked out. That would be fine if it worked. [/QUOTE]
