[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 412666, member: 6546"] The worst part of this is that NOW I can see where I've been foolish over the years... Each time I found a "kill list" or disturbing drawing or journal entries or notes about killing people - I've brought it straight to the doctor/hospital/therapist difficult child was seeing at the time. I brought the originals, so they could see it in her own handwriting. I never thought to make copies... And then the docs would declare a "Fresh Start" and tell me that difficult child won't be doing these things any more...and as part of the "Fresh Start" the doctor would tear up the note/drawing/list and throw it out as a sign of a 'clean slate'...and I was so hopeful - so trusting (cause after all, who wants to believe that their child is really having these kinds of thoughts?)...and I would believe that we really were on a new path...that THIS time, difficult child was getting the help she needed. And now I see Now I see why we can't have any of those things as part of the "official record" Now I see why docs tell me things verbally - but never get around to noting it in the chart Now I see why there is such a delay in getting written notification of anything and everything I am a fool. Of course County MH can tell the state it's "behavioral"....that's how they've prepared difficult child's chart. They've been keeping the records to protect themselves all this time. And to show that Mom doesn't know what she's talking about... And yes, I told caseworker that we did NOT want our case closed....and I *think* I have to sign paperwork when the case is officially closed. But, like everything else, that may not be what happens in real life. I may get a letter a month from now, bearing today's date, stating that the case was closed... Thank you for playing. We're sorry you didn't win anything. [/QUOTE]
