[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 374490, member: 1872"] Good luck klmno -- I'm a veteran of the court system with gfg17. It was infuriating. The rage I felt at the ignorance of the court system regarding mental health issues was very debilitating. It took away a lot of energy I needed just to deal with the situation of 17's mental illness in general. It was truly surreal at times. I hope it works out well tomorrow. It's tough that he thinks he wants to remain in juvie so he won't have to do anything, and that he blabbed about your housing situation. I think his timing is definitely suspect. Can you bring this up at trial? It sounds like he is aware of whatever is bothering him (mentally) but is using prison to numb out. I know you know all this already -- I feel your frustration though. Especially when he wrote you the letter showing that he does have insight into his problem. How old is he? Sorry I don't know you and your difficult child very well but i can relate to your experience. Hugs -- get some rest and let us know how it goes please, I'll be thinking of you. [/QUOTE]
