[QUOTE="klmno, post: 355280, member: 3699"] I think the last judge knew it wasn't me- it was the GAL and probation officer that kept trying to stir up issues with extended family and blame me for all difficult child's issues and get court orders for me. The last judge got to a point where shee just shook her head at the GAL over this stuff and told her it had nothing to do with the issue at hand. But, I am hoping the new judge doesn't see some of this in the file and require us to go thru it all again because he isn't aware of all the details regarding extended family. PO and I had a decent conversation this morning before court. We were discussing lack of services available and how all recent budget cuts seem to pertain to minors, whether it be education, mental health or juvenile justice services. He seems to be pretty frustrated with it too. They are forcing more over-crowding in classrooms and cutting mental health so that ends up with tremendous overflow in Department of Juvenile Justice ultimately but they are closing Department of Juvenile Justice facilities (some) and leaving only the less therapeutic ones, then releasing kids with barely any services in place. He said unfortunately, that is the position difficult child is in and difficult child has to pick up the slack and become strong enough to overcome this himself if he's going to make it because we have nothing else we can offer. I also explained to PO again what happened last year regarding efforts for psychiatric Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I had told him when we first met but it fell on deaf ears then. I think he gets it now. I told the defense attny that this PO and I were working together a lot better that the previous probation officer. The def attny said this PO is a lot better worker. So I guess thru these various things coming out now, I feel a little vindicated and just hope and pray we don't end up starting all over and me having to testify about my family history again [/QUOTE]
