[QUOTE="klmno, post: 249684, member: 3699"] Hey, RM. I hope not- my bro is not the least bit a typical male role model. He's gay and not that necessarily means much by itself, but let's just say, I and other people have taken difficult child fishing, cub scouts, typical "guy" stuff. My brother never liked these things, doesn't do these things, and has never done any of these things ONE time with difficult child. He's only seen difficult child about a total of 10 times his entire life. My bro is one who does not get the parenting idea at all- he just wants to be difficult child's big buddy. Actually, he just wants to say he's raising a child. He'll never have one and he and his SO were not allowed to adopt because of being homosexual. I have a lot more concerns about my bro raising difficult child than that though- a basket full. I kind of wondered, later, if maybe they were concerned about difficult child smoking cigs because I smoke and he held the knife at me to get cigs. But, really, it would take a pretty dysfunctional person to think the biggest problem in that scenario is that I smoke, in my humble opinion. Also, that obviously is something difficult child needs- a male role model. When I was trying to get in home services, before Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or instead of Residential Treatment Center (RTC) if that couldn't be provided, I asked for a therapeutic mentor for difficult child who could spend time with him on homework and recreation after school hours. (That also would supervise difficult child so I could work more hours.) See how many issues that addresses and could really relieve some stress and help difficult child? Nope- they won't give that. It is available- for people getting services paid for by mental health dept., but not for people getting services paid for by Department of Juvenile Justice. So is repsite.
