[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 754936, member: 19522"] Hi Blindsided thank you for your heartfelt reply. I try to keep even keel because these kids are like horses, they sense emotions. It is not always easy and I have been anxious after speaking with the social worker. My youngest daughter who has been such a help is done with her two sisters. I am to the extent that they would have to “jump through hoops” to gain my trust. I think that’s how my grands feel. They are protecting themselves. The whole thing sounds insane. Why put them through that all over again? I think it is some weird reverse psychology. The social workers and literature I read says that the kids love their parents no matter what. That some agencies allow visitation even when parents are actively using. :groan: Moral, but apparently not legal. Loopholes. I agree the decision should be the psychologist and the kids. They should be able to say no. She is very ill. Too much meth. Addict talk, everyone else’s fault. She has been in jail for about a month now, her behaviors are typical. From what I have read, CWS and the courts are mandated by federal law to attempt reunification. We have not sat down with a plan. I want the intense home counseling services to kick in before any of this begins. Thank you Blindsided, I have been keeping record. But that is still [I]my[/I] side of the story. I think once the new counselor steps in there will be a stronger voice. It is so hard on the children, addiction. Not just the unpredictable behaviors of the parents, the kids often blame themselves and have huge issues with self worth. Thank you so much. I believe in the power of collective prayer. Wishes for you and all of us to stay the course. Steady as she goes, one foot in front of the other. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
