[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 584063, member: 1233"] I am so glad she is not in your home. I remember before you put her in fostercare the first time and how it seemed so nuts that unless they charge you they couldn't put her anywhere. We battled that with Wiz also. I was in a bit better shape than you were when it came to a head iwth Wiz, and I had other kids to protect. I will NEVER understand why family unification is such a huge goal. Sometimes it just isn't a good idea. I know lots of kids who would have been far better off if they didn't get sent back to their abusive parents over and over, and I know parents who are abused by their kids and have an almost impossible time getting a placement for the child with-o spending hundreds of thousands of bucks per year. Sometimes I think we need to just move on from the idea that family unification/reunification is the best thing in every case. Cause that just doesn't seem to be the case when abuse is happening. But most of the world won't admit that a child can abuse a parent, or that a parent can do everything right, go above and beyond by 1000%, and still have a child with problems who abuses them. I think parental abuse is probably one of the bigger elephants in the room in our society. I know LOTS of people who think this only applies to the elderly, that a parent of a kid under 18 cannot be abused. Enjoy your soda, cookies, and snuggles. Broady is an excellent dog who was doing his job-protecting his mommy. Dogs are one of few things in the world who will put your needs above their own. I am sorry difficult child is unparentable, but I am so glad you were able to reach out to her foster family. [/QUOTE]
