[QUOTE="slsh, post: 480673, member: 8"] Yes, had to give them originals of BC and SS card, which they lost of course - fortunately I had requested multiple copies of BC when kids were born so when they lost it, no biggie. thank you had to go sit in SSA for hours to get a new card. I do think you need to get an atty to lay this all out for you in plain English. Either you do or you don't have parental rights. If not, quite frankly I'd tell PO exactly what he can do with- his mandatory meetings with- you. You're not on parole. You're not convicted of anything. PO can check in with- difficult child and whoever his guardian will be. It seems to me that parental rights would impact if you do/don't have to pay CS/insurance etc. Sounds really quite suspicious that you'd lose rights... I think that's bologna. But only an atty is going to be able to nail this down and protect you (and difficult child). thank you's group home was supposed to be a transitional living program - goal was independent living, etc. problem was, it was all "client-driven" so absolutely *nothing* was done to prepare thank you because he wasn't "driven" in the slightest. Hopefully since GH is court-ordered, it will have a bit more accountability. I do think you're probably right, based on my experience anyway, about difficult child being rather unique in wanting to graduate and move forward. You're in such a difficult position, klmno - my heart aches for you. I think you have very valid concerns for your own safety and having difficult child back in the home, but I think your concerns about GH are also very valid. I think a fair share of this predicament needs to fall back on difficult child. Home and those requirements, or GH and whatever may happen there .... this is all a direct result of difficult child's choices. Whatever the outcome is, wherever he ends up, he needs to be reminded that this is his doing. Not yours, not the broken system's.... his. [/QUOTE]
