[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 169512"] I'm totally behind in reading your posts and I feel horrible about this. I went to bed at 4 a.m. and just got up to start working again (it's 5:30) However, I can tell ya that I just started working with a social service agency with our difficult child and I already got the picture. They make appointments and don't keep them. They are horrible about returning calls. The bus is suppose to pick up difficult child and doesn't come, yet they don't call to say they aren't coming. AND the weird thing is they don't think there is anything "unusual" about any of these things. I told the director that I'm trying to teach my daughter that she is suppose to show responsibility and maturity in this world and they are making this more difficult when THEY show just as much irresponsibility as she does! I pointed out that she could be in a fragile state since she may have recently tried to "set her pants on fire" and was sent to the hospital for this and therefore they might want to make sure the bus picks her up on time for group therapy and return my calls in a timely fashion. I noticed that things have improved since I made that comment. A little gallow humor...Anyway, one good thing I "think" I'm figuring out is who has brains and power and who are the idiots. Weed them out. Pick and chose your battles. Ignore the rest as best as you are able. When something is really important, go to someone in charge who has a good head on her shoulders. Hopefully, there is at least one person around who fits the bill and make sure you are good to them. Hang in there sweetie...which also means don't forget to take time to nurture your hurting soul.
