of fighting with everyone. I fight the school, I fight the therapist, I fight difficult child's bio-dad, I fight, I fight , I fight.
I tried to get school to let difficult child use eletronic devise instead of written agenda, they are fighting it. Asked therapist for help, she thinks difficult child should use agenda, "Giving her electronic is giving her an out, she needs to use agenda book like everyone else".
That statement, on top of several others, including "Don't get hung up on Aspergers diagnosis" make me think this women has NOOOOO clue! I tried to tell her that yes, they are the same behaviors, but reason is now clearer, and past efforts haven't worked, so lets try new ones. Didn't sink in, I just don't think she gets difficult child. The last 2 therapists have both tried to get difficult child to act 12, NOT gonna happen. She has been stuck at a maturity level of 8 for 4 yrs. I keep trying to tell them to treat her at her maturity level, then work your way up to her age, but I'm just the parent, what do I know.
The hard part is the rest of the "team" does get difficult child and is trying to help. If I get a new therapist, I have to get a whole new "team".(Team is case manager, phyciatrist, therapist.)
To make matters worse, My Stray is starting to be very mean. I have tried to get him state insurance, but he won't go apply. Tried to tell him he needs medications, he won't take them. Tried to tell him to STOP antagonizing difficult child-Little B, and what does he do, plays a mean trick on her at Game Stop yesterday and sends her into a meltdown. He was exchanging some video games, and had some trade-in value left and asks difficult child-Little B if there is something she wants. She finds something, asks him if she can get it, he asks "What have you done for me lately", she stares that blank stare, he then says "I didn't say I would get it, just if you found something you wanted." Good Grief.
I guess that means that he wants to be treated that way. Golden Rule and All. I'd hate to send him back to the street, but I am beginning to see why his dad kicked him out. He just has an evil-devil streak. And, I can't let him undo the progress Little B has made.
I guess I'm just having one of those feed up days. Thanks for letting me vent.
