[QUOTE="klmno, post: 247589, member: 3699"] Thanks, everyone!! I really need the support and pep talks right now!! I was wondering, though. wouldn't the judge tend to listen to the GAL's opinion over the PO? (The GAL's here are licensed attny's so I don't know if maybe that's why the judge tended to listen to her more than anyone else before.) Especially when this is a case of doing what will rehabilitate difficult child moreso than protecting the community and the CA is ok with Residential Treatment Center (RTC), too? Isn't it going to look a little odd if PO is the only one in the room pushing for juvy? I just got back from visiting difficult child. He's really eating up the time with "peers". I didn't realize how much he was wanting/needing that, but I'm not sure what I could have done about it. He wouldn't join a club or sports. He quit the only groups he'd ever joined on his own accord. His old friends had ostracized him. It seems to me that he's much more comfortable around kids in places like this because he knows they have issues, too. Never mind that I try to explain that all people, including kids at his regular school, have issues. I guess it's doing group therapy and KNOWING that these kids struggle through similar feelings, habits, etc. Anyway, he has cut his arm until it's a mess. They used those strips of special medical tape to try to hold skin together but any worse and he's going to need stitches. From the wrist to the elbow of his left arm, you can hardly see any skin. He's started on the other arm now. Before I left this morning, I faxed the GAL the letter I rec'd from Residential Treatment Center (RTC) saying they would accept difficult child. They just need the county team to sign off on it and give them the paperwork, including a reimbursement rate so they could bill medicaid. I wrote on the fax cover and asked GAL if judge approved or ordered this, could the GAL attend the county meeting because I wasn't so sure the county would approve it without her there. (Is that subtle enough?) I'll be jumping on and off here the rest of today as I get some laundry done and prepare for tomorrow. Oh, almost forgot- I do remember that commercial!!
