Might have been a tad too blunt

[QUOTE="klmno, post: 445630, member: 3699"] Nope- you weren't too blunt. You should hear how blunt I've gotten with some of these POs! But I found if I wasn't, they keep right on doing the same ole-same ole until I put my foot down or difficult child is home re-offending again. They are just doing what they have to. They (people in the system) will continue to do that until the parent forces a detour in the plan. And I for one completely understand why you feel the way you do. I'm sure you know that I'm biding time until my son hits 18yo, too- not because I want rid of him (out of my life completely) or don't love him anymore, but I don't have the financial, emotional, etc resources to go thru it again and can't begin to fathom why anyone could possibly think this would be in his best interest, given that there's no reason to think that the same approach would produce any different result than it did before. I honestly believe that it is in my son's best interest (and mine) for him to age out and when he's given a chance at transitioning at 18yo, he'll have more services available and will have to face that his decisions=his problem or = his freedom, depending on the choices he makes.
