[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 248107, member: 1514"] K.... I dont have any connections in VA in the courts or mental health but if it works anything like it does down here I can kinda figure out what is going on. Now here, the therapy notes would not be released to anyone unless it was a danger to self or others. The fact that he was in therapy, or maybe that you were in therapy, could be introduced but the notes themselves are private. They wont even release the notes to Social Security. Even with a release. They can release diagnosis's, a report...but not the notes taken in sessions. There is a huge difference. I still think that this whole thing comes down to funding and a "you have to do X, Y, Z to get to Residential Treatment Center (RTC)." Thats what I had to do. I had to prove that we failed at everything else before we could get what I knew we needed in the first place. Stupid but what we had to do. I know you think you want to give up. We all have probably felt that way at some point...I know I did. The day that Cory sauntered into my office and told everyone that he had sex I wanted to crawl into a hole and disown him. There were days I just wanted to send him off to the French Foreign Legion and be done with him. Unfortanetaly that really isnt an option. There isnt a return desk. (I really looked for one!) We cant give up...we have to soldier on. One day this will all be over for you. It might not be over for him. That will be up to him. On Corys 18th birthday I bought a bottle of champagne and celebrated. He thought I was so happy for him. HA! I was celebrating the fact that he had now become an adult and was no longer my responsibility...lol. It was such a joyous day. [/QUOTE]
