[QUOTE="klmno, post: 291909, member: 3699"] Thanks, all! JJJ, he doesn't know for sure if he can get the mentor to take difficult child to appts but it would be great if he could, at least most of the time. Another thing we realized while talking is that difficult child's school schedule will be different because he'll be in high school instead of middle school so appts will need to be 5:00 or after. I told him I'd tried that a few times before and here's the reality- the newbie tdocs are willing to do that sometimes (which means they are the less experienced ones) but as soon as they get clientele built up, they no longer want to do it, leaving us with inadequate therapy to begin with and switching tdocs every few months. He understood and also agreed that difficult child should not be taken out of school once a week to go to therapy unless he's really in bad shape. He said maybe we would get lucky and the mental health people would be ok with difficult child having minimal therapist appts for a while and the mentor having a lot of positive effect on difficult child. If the mentor is good, he might really have more positive impact on difficult child since many issues pertain to not having his father in his life. The PO is making sure that the mentor is a male. If the PO stays this way, he could be more of an asset than a detriment in our lives- boy that would be a miracle! [/QUOTE]
