[QUOTE="ready2run, post: 523973, member: 11339"] Protecting everyone has to be your prime goal. only you can decide what that looks like for you. It could be you leaving with your son. it could be finding some other placement for the one causing most of the issues, or you could look for things to improve the situation for a while before you decide on anything. If I could go back to the day that CAS showed up to bring us difficult child after his bio-mom gave up on him, i would probably do things differently. but i am here now, and i struggle with the same issues as you do.
