[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 350564, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Toto, I had to advocate to heck & back. I never backed down from these people - still never back down. I held my head high & made the needs of the tweedles & the entire family known & what MY priorities for the tweedles were. No I was never, still am never ignored. I don't let them ignore me. As the years have gone by our psychiatrist has been my biggest backer - to the twins & to the service providers. He knows & believes in my parenting & common sense. If the team starts to question or step over the line I call psychiatrist & everyone gets back on the same page. When wm was removed (voluntarily) from the house it was the most heartbreaking thing that had to be done; the team found the right placement for him & we continue to be a family of different addresses. Foster mum & dad work with me & I back them up 100%. It comes down to mutual respect for one another. I acknowledge & respect the team's education & wisdom - they acknowledge & respect me as the mom. Saying that, because of my involvement & my unwillingness to back down the team works with me very willingly. They like to know that I don't bow to their "every whim". I question things & ask for reasons why this should work versus that. It's very infrequent that I question the team's treatment plan - it's been a work in progress. As the tweedles have grown so has the treatment plan. AND I've been able to relax knowing the team in place is working for the tweedles & the entire family's best interests. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
