[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 547054, member: 11001"] Thanks everyone for your replies. This is the toughest week ever. Thank you for your responses. This Friday is court. We have no idea what will happen. I was so angry yesterday because difficult child says she is going to plead not guilty. This will drag things out. It means husband and I will miss work yet again. I hope the public defender is smart enough to talk sense into her. I won't talk about it with her. It is her mess. Klmno-you may not remember difficult children history-but we have done over 2 years of Residential Treatment Center (RTC), 4 psychiatric. hospital stays and years of various kinds of counseling. Yes, I am worried about school. Trouble is, with Borderline (BPD) and PTSD, getting to the place of being stable 100% takes years. She may not be able to go to school. She is very bright-but the Borderline (BPD) episodes will come and go-luckily they don't last for more than a few hours. I don't know about the stress of school-because stress is a huge trigger. I just can't put her in another Residential Treatment Center (RTC)-she feels abandoned by us and they have made things so much worse. We have been told by many proffessionals not to do it. Now the courts may do it anyway, I don't have control at this point because she got herself here this time. 9-we live in Utah-capitol of treatment centers, wilderness camps, and the system where children are not cared for and little money is given for their care in the schools (lowest per pupil expenditure in the country), JJS or DCFS. Lots of lawsuits and probationary measures for many youth systems here. Don't move here-I cannot recommend it to anyone. I'm hoping we have a good PO. I know that the judge is a pill. He is unpredictable, says really cruel things to people, and even the "in court" people struggle with him. I do know he cares and in his own way and that he thinks he is helping. His understanding of mental illness is just not good. He really thinks a few months is all it takes! On the flip side-she did what she did and while her impulsivity is part of the mental illnesses-she knew better. She has been given skills to over come and chose not to be impulsive. It is in Gods hands. I love her and pray for the best outcome. [/QUOTE]
