[QUOTE="klmno, post: 49068, member: 3699"] Thanks all! regarding profs- i think they are mainly CYA themselves. the psychiatric might say she recommended therapist and we didn't continue with it. we didn't continue with it because it was making things worse. i've been researching and reading and i have a theory. when i was young, i went to therapy and i did see psychiatrist, and 2 therapist before finding one that i felt i could communicate with, then getting a grip on things and getting control back in my life came after seeing her a couple of months- i did need continued support after that, but i felt it was so successful that it was a miracle. so, i was so disappointed when tdocs last year were very unsuccessful. my research has lead me to think they were giving difficult child (and me) behavior modification, as recommended by the psychiatric. however, the therapist i had so much success with apparently used cognitive therapy. whether my difficult child is bipolar or not, there are clearly depression and anxiety issues like I have and his brain works similar to mine (although I hate to admit it sometimes), so i think this could be it. Has anyone looked into this or experienced a similar situation? my attny is still banking on working things out with- GAL. i am 99% sure she just wants difficult child gone- backing up sd. i'm trying to figure out if i should file a complaint against her (she's done a couple of things wrong- mainly, not doing what was in difficult child's best interest) or to find a way to get a voice in court, which i don't have right now. Anyway, my son is having a comp evaluation done to see if he can assist in his own defense. the court date is june 11- if he's not comp, then they have soc services on stand by to take him into custody (apparently, Residential Treatment Center (RTC)- except i think they are having trouble finding one) i am trying to get them to have an evaluation and consultation with mental health professionals prior to determining placement. i really cannot see how a person in social services (but not sw or anything else), an attny, and a judge can know what is my difficult child's best interest re. his mental health. they could send him anywhere in the state and i'm about to blow over this and the GAL acting more like an advocate for the sd, when i know the sd didn't comply with- the law. i've spoken with- 2 defense attny's who i can hire to replace this inadequate one the court appointed, and i will do so if they don't drop or have a major reduction in charges. i've been debating whether or not they could stand in his defense about his placement against GAL at court. the sad thing is, this is already rigged. i can tell. first, before the arraignment, this attny introduced herself and said she was an attny who would be involved with- us and that she'd already spoken with- my son. then at his arraignment, judge appoints her as gal. well, can she see in the future? then she never sees my difficult child again until 1 1/2 hr before trial when he was put back in juvy.
