[QUOTE="Midwest, post: 727667, member: 17092"] Thank you Suzie! What you wrote is probably the nicest thing anyone has said to me over this whole ordeal. Thus said, I don't talk about it to anyone except my husband and my attorney. And if you want to hear one the most ridiculous part of this story, get this. CPS ordered us to go to therapy to try and "mend" the relationship. This therapist told me my expectations were too high because they had determined that she had experienced "birth trauma" and all of this was the result of them using forceps when she was born. So the doctor was at fault and she wasn't to blame for any of her choices and never would be. She went on to tell me how she had another patient who kept calling himself "trash" and that was the result of his mother leaving him in a dumpster as a newborn. He "remembered" that and now all of his actions are the result of him living up to his memory. I laughed in her face. But I went on to every one of my scheduled therapy sessions. She had to write a summary for the judge who was involved and her summary said that while I was compliant, she didn't believe that I "respected" her findings. It couldn't be that my daughter behaves this way because she has a long list of mental health disorders and won't take medication. NOPE. It's all because of birth trauma. And the entire time she was in CPS custody, (almost 3 years now) she went to the psychiatrist TWO TIMES and was never forced to take any prescribed medication. And do you want to know something even more ridiculous? Just YESTERDAY, I got paperwork from the court that she was no longer a ward of the state. She hasn't lived in their state for almost a year now, but all this time, the agency that CPS has managing their cases has been collecting money to "help" a kid they haven't laid eyes on. A few months ago, I finally had my attorney call the states attorney to clue her in on how this agency has been scamming the state. And my attorney told me that IN COURT the agency actually recommended that she "continue to be under their care and management as she needed their guidance!" She lives 20 hours away! They have had zero contact! And she's almost 19! So many wasted tax dollars. I could go on and on. Thanks for listening and for your kind words. I truly appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
