[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 307185, member: 4264"] Gentle hugs from here as well. You sound at the point I was at when I made the difficult choice to place difficult child in foster care several years ago. I had a caseworker initally who built a plan for difficult child's treatment. Foster care was meant to be a very short transition location while getting quicker placement to a Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Unfortunatly my caseworker was changed right before placement to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and that worker derailed all that we were attempting to do. difficult child ended up back home at my request and Residential Treatment Center (RTC) went down the tubes. In hindsight, had I know my rights and difficult child's rights, even that idiot caseworker would have had to comply the with the plan agreed to when I voluntarily placed difficult child to foster care. Please know your rights before going into this. It sounds like it is time for a different placement for difficult child to help redirect him into different behaviours. And it sounds like you as a mom are at that breaking point with frustration and coping with this day in and day out. Sometimes something has to give. I hope you are able to find the support you and your family need and the right type of help for your difficult child.
