[QUOTE="Suz, post: 177542, member: 29"] Star, as you know I'm one of the biggest proponents of detaching but I don't think it's appropriate in this situation. Janet raises some excellent points about money- SSI and the subsidy that the foster parents receive for Dude's care. FP should have some kind of behavior plan in place to help Dude achieve his goals and move forward. Also.......are you listening to Dude and to the foster parents separately? That's what it sounds like in your post. I'm reminded of the kid who goes to one parent and says one thing, then goes to the other parent and says another thing so everyone is pointing fingers at everyone else and no one knows the truth. So, if that's the case, I would certainly interecede and my first priority would be to get everyone in the same room- including probation and mental health if you can arrange that- and have the group work together to develop a plan for Dude. (we did this for Rob) This way all of the cards are on the table and you have a better handle on what's really happening. Suz [/QUOTE]
