[QUOTE="klmno, post: 233196, member: 3699"] I'm back. She did keep it kind of light. She questioned difficult child but she didn't show her normal "lecturing" attitude to him. The thing that rubbed me wrong was on the phone when she said "well I want you to surpervise him constantly". I'm his mother for goodness sakes and she knows I've fought like carp for him and gone to extreme lengths, I don't need her to tell me that he needs to be supervised during periods of instability. Does she think I DON'T KNOW that already? Furthermore, it is the fact that I know it and do it and provide him mental health care that has left me in the situation of calling all over the place trying to get help. She didn't know I was shooting for fapt team, but she did know difficult child had been in psychiatric hospital in Dec., that he was still unstable and I was very concerned about resulting actions from him, that I was missing work, and that I was feeling a lot of financial strain. Did she recommend a fapt team- NO. So, that is why I was calling all over the place and that is how I learned about it. Anyway, she does know about them- she told me on phone today that she sits on fapt meetings all the time. I know- it doesn't add up. But, last year when I was trying to get some info to judge, the PO told me to just write a letter to the judge. Then, someone else told me that the judge is not allowed to read a letter sent to her that way. I thought maybe PO was new at her job or something because she had told me other things that weren't accurate or seemed naive. Nope- she's not new at her job. Before, I had called her super- he just backs her up. I think she has biased opinions. It could be a race thing, it could be a typical "I could raise your kid better than you" issue, a denial about mental health issues, I don't know. But, after judge asked PO once "what exactly is your problem with this" in regards to my request for something that the PO refused to address, I started getting a clue that at least the judge was seeing a bit of this, too. The resource officer at school told me and difficult child that she's (the PO) just that way- she's not very friendly. No- I don't buy it for a mintute that the county can't do more. [/QUOTE]
