[QUOTE="klmno, post: 358889, member: 3699"] Susie, I was thinking more about your hard-lined post. Look at it this way- what if you had found a dr that diagnosis'd Jess with something that you thouight might be valid but you were having trouble finding someone to treat it per the dr's recommendations- then a GAL (who's expertise consists of 3 years experience as an attny and an 8 hr course to qualify as a GAL) somehow got involved, looked over Jess's hx and believed that Jess's issues were just anixiety and nothing more so got a court order for Jess to be treated for anxiety and nothing more- medications and all- and if you didn't buy into it, then the GAL gets a court order on you to get mental health treatment because surely something must be wrong with you and that's standing in the way of this treatment for Jess working. And of course, they order a specific mental health place and tell them to deal with you for this specific issue and the place they order you to go to never even considers that the GAL could be wrong in his/her assessment of things because they assume if it's a court order, it must have a valid reason behind it. And if you don't become a doormat in all this, Jess could get sent to live with a family member that blamed you for everything and had tried to molest you as a kid. And throughout this situation, Jess learned to blame you for all her problems. How would you feel? What would you do? [/QUOTE]
