[QUOTE="DDD, post: 45935, member: 35"] As a former GAL I am sending hugs your way. Each community and each GAL is different so I have no "wise" input. Here are a couple of suggestions that may help. I agree that you need to call and see what "pro bono" attorneys may be available to help you deal with this system. (there are no charges for those services) I strongly encourage you to buy a spiral notebook and make daily notes....be sure to list every single person you have contacted by name/phone number/department and a recap of the telephone conversation. Spend your free time and nervous energy getting your home sp ic and span. Even clean clutter indicates a lack of self-discipline in the eyes of those who are assessing your lifestyle. Do NOT allow yourself to say anything negative to neighbors or family members that can come back and bite you in the behind. It is in your best interests, and the best interests of your son, to give the appearance of full respect for all those who are involved. (YES..I know that sounds hypocritical but I have seen many many times when a "friend" or "confident" pops up in Court saying "well, she told me that the system x'd".) It would be helpful to find a parenting class that you could take through an agency not involved with your son. It would be helpful to find a famiy support group to attend. I am truly sorry you are being traumatized and I understand the depth of your concern for your son. Just keep thinking how you can show that you are the best provider for him and kill the system with your independent steps to improve yourself. It can't hurt a darn thing and it "may" cause the Judge to stop and think "Wow, this Mom has done alot all on her own!" Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
