[QUOTE="klmno, post: 480047, member: 3699"] thank you for the support, Ladies, I don't know what I'd do without it. Yes, Buddy, it seems like a bad dream. It went from a possibility of re-unification within a few mos to now being around the end of next summer, at the earliest, and that would then require difficult child and I jumping thru every one of their hoops and having a min 90 days of them dictating everything in our home following that- so difficult child would be just short of his 18th birthday. So it went from this to it being a min of 1 year from now before they lighten up at all, not to mention not even being off parole, in 1 flippin day. I should have known something was up when PO didn't call Monday with the answer about caseworker and mentor. I seriously can't buy into this group home's program. It's another anger management 'treatment' and difficult child is finishing his 3rd one now- I can't see how a 4th is going to make a difference. And I be darned if I'm going to end up in another situation where difficult child and I are sitting at home with a 'therapist' there asking if everything is fine so we can lie or pretend evverything is in order to be complinant or tell the truth and face an explosion from difficult child after 'therapist' leaves. I'm putting 'therapist' in quotes because these aren't MH profs. They are people with a bachelors in human services but no Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or any kind of license is required to gget the job- I checked on their long list of job vacancies for job descriptions. Now, the whole modality (Sp) is based on the family being [U]required[/U] to be involved in their anger management groups and meetings, unless the kid is there rom dss/foster care. I won't be there due to work and well, let's face it, I simply can't buy into it. The re-entry lady already knows that- I made it clear and she told super it was clear that I wouldn't do this. That might soundd horrible but none of this behavior mod addresses underlying family issues andd I told them if they went this route, we 'd be sitting there mos from now, when difficult child finished those requirements, with me presenting the same concerns to them about him moving back in with me. So how is this supposed to play out? [/QUOTE]
