[QUOTE="Farmwife, post: 338828, member: 8617"] I get what you're saying but they both have had to miss work/appointments with me, always show up late when I am waiting, don't return calls etc. They were more unprofessional than should be tolerated by their employer. My point wasn't to discriminate against an addict or parent of troubled teen. The problem was that they obviously weren't experts if one admittedly bad mouths her ex to her obviously troubled teen who she can't control and the others son became an addict via an illustrious start using Moms medications. Not exactly people I want teaching me how to be a better parent. I quite honestly know more about them than they do me, intimate facts like one sleeps with her boxer who tears holes in her sheets with her claws, the addict son dropped the dog off at her house along with a parrot. The others daughter dyed her hair to make her mad and her ex's new wife creates havoc with her parenting. I know the job is stressful but I became the counselor. The DCFS workers are trained to help kids who are abused by bad parents not vice versa. I frankly got the creeps from their level of service. I was voluntary and grateful yet they made a big show of having to come check out my house several times and see the kids to make sure they are still breathing. There was no case against me, I handled a redirection of a mentally ill kid the best I can. They were just a resource for counselors, really really bad ones. I could have told them to shove off anytime which I just did. I don't have the time to train/nurture/coddle an advocate. I expend all of my gas fumes of energy in my empty tank on my own problems, you know? If I have to baby them along I may as well do it myself. With help like that who needs help? :winking: I have other resources, a fantastic psychiatrist that everyone is amazed we could get in with. She is much sought after in our area. I have a church group who will be by next week for in home family sessions for a couple months followed by all the follow up mentoring we need. This person has a masters and good references. I'm not lost and alone just really mad that these people made empty promises. Ultimately all they did was drop a few phone numbers and waste a few months of my time on appointments for their counseling.:knockedout: I have just been through so much and didn't need the invasion of my privacy and worst of all false hope. False hope they fed me...special school, special counselors...oh yeah we'll handle it all. Everything is going to be alright. We have advocates, education specialists etc. etc. I didn't need to be told that. It was all smoke and mirrors. [/QUOTE]
