[QUOTE="klmno, post: 374464, member: 3699"] I'm back. According to difficult child, which may or may not be the whole truth, he was afraid this GAL would call in DSS like the previous one did to try to keep him from going to Department of Juvenile Justice and he said that is what he would have asked a continuance over. But he said the GAL saw him right after difficult child called me this afternoon. He told the GAL that he did not want to go to my bro but was scared he might get sent there after Department of Juvenile Justice because (drum roll please) I am in dire straits financially and about to lose our home and might be living in a homeless shelter. Oh yeah, just what I want a GAL to know nthe day before court. So, of course, the GAL tells difficult child that if I don't have a home for him when he's released from Department of Juvenile Justice then dss will have to get involved. Well, I am not so worried about having a home a year or so from now and then other things will be on the table. But in difficult child's infinite wisdom, he had to make this an issue today. So now I don't know what all will be brought up in court tomorrow. PO knows all this but was not going to bring it up because he thought it was irrelevant to difficult child's PO violations. PO knows that if difficult child hadn't violated parole and had done what he was supposed to, we could have gotten other types of assistance if things had still gotten to this point. It makes me wonder if difficult child really knew it would stir up koi and just wants me to think he didn't intend to. Then, he said again that he doesn't care if he's incarcerated or not. He doesn't like it but there are too many stressors ITRW dealing with PO, me, his own issues, etc, and having to get up and do stuff every day. He said he could get anything he wants incarcerated and not get busted for it. Great. He apologized again and said he knew this all hurt me but it's just how he felt. Any way I can report that to someone who actually cares and will do something about it? All I know is that I've never heard of a kid spending all their teen years in juvie or Department of Juvenile Justice and then being able to adjust and live normally ITRW as an adult. [/QUOTE]
