[QUOTE="nvts, post: 187914, member: 3814"] Hi! Hope the morning is looking a little brighter for you! I wasn't thinking about the IEP site for school per se, what I was thinking is that you could contact them, explain your situation (she's a runaway, stealing, not attending school and causing you to lose your son, etc.) and they may be able to provide you some information as to what your rights are OR point you in the direction of who could walk you through either emancipating yourself from her OR having some sort of placement put on her. She walks through the front door, BAM, you make a call and someone shows up to put her where ever you ultimately decide would be best for her. It's worth a shot! Believe me: I know that you need a real break right now from the stress going on, but please re-think doing so at your sons expense. I've known so many now adults that still hate their Moms for giving up on them when they weren't the problem. When you speak to the legal people, see if they can (instead of making public visits mandatory) have it built into the visitation agreement that if your daughter shows up, you will visit with your son in a public place. I have a feeling that in the past, the daughter has caused major problems for your son. Even though your ex may be playing the "protective parent" game, if she's caused harm to your son, whether physically or mentally, he's got the back up. In your sons eyes (I will guarantee you this), if you blow off the opportunity to see him because he thinks you're putting your pride first (and that's the way a 10 or 11 year old will see it!), he'll never forgive you - no matter how old he is OR how well you explain it. Please, please, please rethink your position. Come here and vent, and scream, and cry, and argue and believe that there's life beyond your own personal occasional live-in "Wicked Witch"!! We're here for you and only want to help and protect you! Please don't be offended - I just want to help you see the other side of the coin. If I did offend, I deeply apologize! Beth [/QUOTE]
