Why was it I felt like I was the one being treated like I'm on probation?

[QUOTE="klmno, post: 391326, member: 3699"] Thanks, Ladies! Marg, I was born in hillbilly country and that is how I feel! although I don't have a shotgun and have never been considered a redneck. LOL! They don't cdonsider parents "partners" in their efforts to rehabilitate the difficult child in this state - it's their method (officially) to manage both the difficult child and the parent because they work under the premise that the family is as much the cause of the difficult child having delinquent behavior as anything else, if not completely the cause. They have legal authority over the parent just like they do the difficult child but they aren't supposed to be treating the parent like they are the one on probation/parole unless that parent has been court ordered to do something particular pertaining to the difficult child. And I have not, at this point in time. My guess is that the guy just found out he was supposed to do a home visit before the end of the month or meet me in person or something since I just moved here, realized he's going to be on vacation due to holidays, and rushed to try to CYA himself. Too bad if that's the case because I'll be out of town next week, too. If it was necessary to see me, it is beyond me why he wouldn't have called first. But I will be polite in setting that straight. If he wanted to verify that this is where I live, in order to verify jurisdiction, it would make more sense to have me bring in lease agreement or something like that- the same way the sd does. He never called me back about the sd info he was going to check into either. [/QUOTE]
