Thanks, Crazy. I'm calming, slightly. LOL! Yes, I think I need to work on the letter and say something like "if no help can be provided except MST, then xxx". This is because I took it to court to get MST removed and took evidence that mst is for conduct disorder (behavioral issues) only and does not allow for other treatments at the same time. The judge ruled in my favor. She also let difficult child out of detention and allowed him to come home on probation so I could get him treatment that I said I'd pay for. Now, I'm going back in asking that he be removed from probation and asking for help because I can't pay or otherwise provide all that he needs. How well can that possibly go over? But- difficult child has not hada any further legal charges and they are real pleased with his behavior at school. I just keep trying to mull things over and come up with an "angle" that will get difficult child help and not put any more demands on me- as I've said a lot lately- I can't meet the obligations I already have, that's in part why things kept getting worse. Maybe I should call difficult child's attny before I file anything and tell him what difficult child has done and why I'm doing this. But, then, if this proceeds and difficult child needs an attny in court, I can't afford to keep this guy on.
