[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 296683, member: 1233"] Marg, you tickle me with your descriptions - esp the "IQ bypass"!! WSM, these are very good points. I don't think you will be able to count on this brush with the courts to get difficult child into help. You will need to attend the doctor appts, therapy appts and court dates so that dad does not end up minimizing things. He only hurts difficult child. If it comes up in court that Dad did not tell the lawyer and/or kept you from telling the lawyer about prior offenses and mental health problems, well it could go very very badly. Dad will be seen to be a deceitful parent determined to hide things. It could spark the system to do more investigation and even have Dad lose custody of BOTH kids. If dad is shifty and lies about things then they will wonder if he is a fit parent of any kids. Of course, husband talks the game now but after his behavior in court you must just trust he will do his best to get difficult child "off" and do anything he can to "save" difficult child. He is just too far down the Rabbit Hole into "Not Me Land" This entire situation is just headed for a big explosion. Take care of yourself and your kids. [/QUOTE]
