[QUOTE="klmno, post: 158316, member: 3699"] Thanks, Janet, Sara, and all! I have spent the day doing domestic chores, talking with difficult child, and researching some of these links that you kind ladies have provided. I feel a little more hopeful now (I hope it isn't too idealistic). Anyway, the therapist that we see tomorrow had mentioned a couple of options before. I want to discuss them more in length tomorrow- one being day treatment. Then, I will write a heart-felt letter to gal and judge. It might not do any good, but I at least want them to know that as long as they are involved, I can't really do any more without signing over custody or them taking custody. I could do more if they were not involved- this was proven when I had difficult child at the er several weeks ago and it was at the place where he could have gone straight into their day treatment from inpatient after a few days- IF he hadn't had outstanding charges. Hopefully, they will consider that although things aren't "cured", he has made a drastic improvement in functioning at school and in the community and I do think they realize that I am not a mother who lets her kid just do whatever he wants, but he does need more than this. Hopefully, the judge will see that I shouldn't lose custody in order to provide it- especially if they see that I could provide it if they weren't involved. Of course, I still need to keep in mind that they became involved because of difficult child's illegal actions, not theirs. I would like to add- people with BiPolar (BP) and other mental health issues, particularly that effect behavior, are to be admired, in my humble opinion. My son (and apparently most others) not only has to deal with what is going on with him, but then there seems to be so much more BS added to it that he has to bite his tongue about and tolerate and deal with from people who think they just have all the answers when they really have no clue. These people are mixed in everywhere, it seems. [/QUOTE]
