[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 730538, member: 18958"] Hi Sumsky. What a mess. I will tell you what my first thoughts are. And they are contradictory. I think I might talk to people close to me, who are neutral with respect to stepson but who support you and daughter. Like your parents. Or a pastor. Or best friend. Or if you have a therapist. The elephant in the living room is your husband. Because it is so difficult for him. Like a right hand and foot. Each child. If after speaking to those close to you, you still feel your daughter is at risk, I might talk to husband about a cps report. Or perhaps there is a private social worker who could do a risk assessment. This person would be mandated to report if they believed there was risk, as well. Because who here besides you is considering the risks to daughter? I am actually kind of surprised the psychologist did not report himself the incident. You are really left holding the bag here. I understand the position of the psychologist. But there is the major fact that SS and daughter do reside together. He is acting as if ss's welfare is the only consideration. And it may be, to him. But it cannot be to you. Perhaps your husband might be more proactive if he knew what was at stake: his family. I do not know how you finesse this. This is a difficult situation. I am glad daughter feels she is getting a win out of this. Has she expressed anything about what she needs to happen? [/QUOTE]
