[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 242784, member: 1991"] HE HAD TO ASK??? I mean, he had to call you to ask? Why did he not just go straight to her and tell her, instead of calling you first? I'm sorry you're going through this. I do agree, you need to be in court. A great pity it means cnacelling appointments to do it, though. Just remember - she's not doing this TO YOU, she's doing it to herself because she just doesn't get it. I"m with you - I can't understand why they released her to you at home either. If they try this again, can you stand up and object? Say something like, "She has already demonstrated that she is wilful and non-compliant. We do not have any tools or supports in place to keep US safe from here, let alone keep her safe from herself. She has alreayd done a great deal of damage to her younger brother simply by him having to witness her out of control behaviour and hear her insolence and abuse directed at us. If she comes back home under the same conditions, then the court that allows this will be actively contributing to further harm donoe to everyone else in the family, including her younger brother. Surely this is unacceptable, especially considering she is ill and needs placement? And the court is able to order this? Please order for this girl what she needs in order to recover, and please don't expect her to be able to do it on her own - we already know this won't work. We need help. I've been pleading for it in these specific terms. Please help us." If you are planning to do something like this, have it prepared. These days even when I'm going to the doctor for acheck-up, I have a written list of what I want to say. It saves the forehead-smacking that goes on when you walk out and realise you missed telling him something important. Add to this what you feel you need to and maybe talk to the MAST person again about what they can do and what you need to do to speed it up. You don't want your speech to undermine it, you want it to reinforce it. THis crud has to be past the worst of the crisis soon, but there is more muck to come while you wait until this plays out again. Stay strong. Marg [/QUOTE]
