[QUOTE="klmno, post: 355408, member: 3699"] When that mental health evaluation was ordered on me, I had to talk to the MST guy because he's the court/mental health liason. He told me that it doesn't matter what psychiatrists and tdocs have determined or recommended if they are not in their system- they will go by what the GAL wants done and gets the judge or PO to order and they had said that difficult child pulled the knife on me because I had mental health problems that I wouldn't deal with and that's why difficult child wouldn't deal with his. Now I have a number of problems with this statement- first, it wouldn't matter if I was completely insane it doesn't justify a kid walking in a room and pulling a knife on his mother, unprovoked, and demanding cigs, 2) the gal and PO are not tdocs or psychiatrists and don't even have kids over the age of 3yo and couldn't possibly understand the psychology or dynamics enough to warrant throwing out profs recommendations and dictating treatment, 3) this MST guy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and just because he works as a liason he is automatically letting these people dictate trreatment, 4) I think difficult child needs to be taught that he is responsible for his own actions, not given an excuse that his mother has problems so it's not his fault if he does things like this, 5) Just because these things happened in the past and I DID go to therapy and deal with them over 20 years ago, does not mean I am warped for life and incapable of being a good parent like PO and GAL thought- that is a very ignorant way of thinking in my book- personally, I think the fact that I had therapy made me a better parent not a warped person forever who needs to have my hand held thru life. And I may never get past the anger over a PO and GAL being able to over-ride the recommendattions of the head psychiatrist at a state psychiatric hospital where that very court system sent difficult child on their own determination and dictating what mental health treatment they thought we should get and the fact that profs in this jurisdiction go along with that. Really- say a dr finds a heart problem in someone but the attnys think the person needs a cast on their leg- they can get the cast ordered and a dr does that and ignores the heart problem. And this PO is taking the stance that he doesn't know because he's not a dr. [/QUOTE]
