[QUOTE="klmno, post: 292220, member: 3699"] Then exactly WHY are these people not grateful that a parent is willing to take the child back home and do as much as they can, when it's a parent who has proven time and time again that they do what they can, instead of trying to create an ideal situation for a kid that a parent cannot live up to? IOW- I can't do ABCDE, but I can do ABC. If difficult child would be so much worse someplace else- whether group home or foster care or whatever, why don't THEY agree and commit to only requiring ABC from the parent instead of threatening to have the parent thrown in jail and the kid removed (which puts them in the original "bad place", right?) if the parent cannot possibly do D & E? If the PO really understands this, why isn't HE committing to it? difficult child's post-release requirements (and mine) are solely up to the PO- he could commit to this. Really, it's hard for me to have any hope at all that difficult child's future isn't already s***wed. Also, I asked about why difficult child would need to be evaluation'd by the county mental health dept- that I have ZERO faith in. difficult child will be coming out of state Department of Juvenile Justice where they have mental health prof's seeing him and treating him- why on earth would he (the PO) not take the recommendations for post-release treatment instead of sending difficult child to someplace new for an evaluation?
