I don't know where to go on Monday.
My difficult child needs me at his pretrial at 1:30 so I can defend him and plead for him to come home on gps. He deserves a chance to show them that he has changed!!!
husband has court for SSI. For those of you who don't know he has a bone disorder and he broke his leg over a year and a half ago and it is not healing as a matter of fact they just found a new hairline fracture just above the break.He applied for SSI a while back and we have been waiting for a trial. Finally we get a letter that it is Monday.
I am torn- I know they will not let me speak at all at husband court. We already met with the lawyer and she did a mock hearing to explain what to expect and she flat out told me that I can not even raise my eyebrows or anything to "help" husband with his answers so I know that it would be for moral support. I have been by his side threw all the ups and downs of everything. He however, when I was going threw depositions for my injury I went to most of them by myself.
difficult child needs someone there on his side-he already feels like no one wants him. I am NOT confident that our lawyer will really DEFEND him-he is court appointed because we can't afford one. I feel like he really isn't vested in difficult child since he gets paid the same no matter the outcome. He really hasn't gone to bat for him in the past, he just goes along with what the JPO advises. Thankfully I am in their face all the time to find a new way to get treatment vs commitment to detention. The states attorney is painting the picture that difficult child is awful and it makes me mad Not one of them have even tried to get to know him. that ALL of our difficult child's get judged on something that happened years ago. Why is life so unfair for them. difficult child can be in an argument in second grade over what color paint he wants then 7 grades later the courts are usign it as an example that he is difficult to deal with. Most of us (in my opinion) would fail these "tests" that they make our difficult child's take because of society.
So I could REALLY use some advise and input for you all as to what I should do. Do I go with husband or do I go with difficult child? Please share your opinion!!! Thanks
