[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 302321, member: 1233"] I hope that reason will rule the day, but I understand that sadly reason seems to be missing from what the past court officers have done. I also have known quite a few kids who went to juvie and came out to willing and ready to do what is expected to survive and succeed. I hope your difficult child is one of them. I am so proud that he is doing so well in such a rough situation. AWESOME about wanting to be a vet. One of the best vet schools is in my town. They truly are exceptional. If he ends up wanting to go to school here I will be happy to have him over for dinner, to do laundry, whatever. You can even stay here when you come visit him at school!!! I now have a clean spare room so you would even have a room to sleep in!!! I hope this PO will understand that if difficult child is doing fine he maybe just needs to see a therapist and the psychiatrist (every few months for medications) and let it be. More could be added if he shows a need for them. maybe if you block out a schedule with you working 40 hours and difficult child in school, then add all the various appointments and then you can show visible how there just are not enough hours in the day to do it all. If possible, use overhead transparencies or clear report covers to block out your work schedule on one, difficult child's school on another, therapist appts on a 3rd, etc... If you use the same basic graph to show every hour of each day then the transparencies can be laid on top of each other and will show how much work/school and homework time would be destroyed by all the meetings. Sometimes it is easier for people to grasp things when they are shown graphically. [/QUOTE]
