[QUOTE="klmno, post: 374559, member: 3699"] Yes, and true to my nature of second guessing myself, now I'm sitting here wishing I had tried to change GAL's years ago. But, it's all in the past and can't be changed now, right or wrong, and I don't know that anything would have helped with the previous PO being so convinced that everything difficult child did was my fault. It's just a shame because I honestly do think there was a chance of rehabilitating him then. As far as what I said to the judge, they need to be fully aware of what is going on in these Department of Juvenile Justice facilities, in my humble opinion because the judges have more access to our higher state authorities. Also, I wanted to present as a parent who provides supervision, makes effort to prevent difficult child offending, holds difficult child accountable, yet still want to advocate for what is in his best interest and not always just look for the strictest thing that can be done. (Some had previously wondered if I had been instigating chaos in the house to drive difficult child to offend because I really didn't want him here.) And to difficult child, I hope someday he can understand this as tough love. [/QUOTE]
