[QUOTE="klmno, post: 356293, member: 3699"] UPDATE: PO called this afternoon- maybe def attny recommended it or something. Anyway, PO has surprised me again- he really is working with me more like I'm part of the team than a part of the case. I was able to explain in greater detail to him so he understood that I wasn't saying we can't go to therapy and difficult child can't come home because I'm afraid he's going to kill me on a daily basis. But, I did explain my concerns and we have found solutions for them, I think. He said if therapy started getting too deep too fast and gfgg started cutting agin or coming home explosive or too emotional to deal with, we could back it off. We went thru each concern I had and came to a mutual agreement. He said when he saw difficult child on Friday that difficult child had come down to earth and had a different demeanor so he thinks reality is setting in and the judge will probably go along witth this plan. We all are in agreement though that if difficult child comes home this time and appears to not even be trying, that he gets violated and put back in immediately and the judge will order recommittal to Department of Juvenile Justice. That still would be just for parole violations though (assuming difficult child didn't commit a crime and get arrested), so the Department of Juvenile Justice stay would still be 3-6 months. This sounds reasonable to me. And PO, def attny, and I are all happy with this current plan after PO and I talking today. Well, as happy as I can be with no more being available. So I guess my fears the past couple of days have stemmed more from the way the probation officer and GAL handled things in the past and where that lead difficult child and me and the stress we were living with at home due to it all. If we'd had this PO the two years before difficult child was committed, I have a feeling it might never have gotten to that point- or if it had, difficult child would have gone to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) instead of Department of Juvenile Justice. Sigh. At least I can be grateful that difficult child has this PO now and not another one like the probation officer. [/QUOTE]
