[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 368232, member: 1169"] Kanga has already moved on from this kick again. I told her "Of course, you don't want that anymore. You tried to use the threat of it to manipulate us into changing a rule you didn't like. It didn't work so you've changed tactics." Her excuse - "I don't know when I manipulate, It just happens, I shouldn't be blamed." Whatever Kanga, not buying it. Heck, if I thought it would help her, I'd sign whatever I needed to sign to put her back into foster care. But the fact is, her services would remain the same - considering MORE THAN HALF of the kids at her Residential Treatment Center (RTC) are wards, and she would lose the only person who advocates for her as an individual rather than just one on a caseload. I remember counting the days until I turn 18 and now I am counting the days until she turns 18. I think alot of her manipulations towards us will stop at 18 since we will no longer have any authority over her (we are not taking guardianship) and any involvement that we will have in her life at that point will be voluntary on both sides. 26 months and counting...
