[QUOTE="Steely, post: 45969, member: 3301"] Just want you to know that I am thinking of you, and if I think of anything useful to help you, I will post it immediately. I do not have any experience with the system, so I have not much to offer except support. You sound so much like me that it breaks my heart. Being a single mom to these kids is so enormously diffcult - and I certainly have picked my battles with my difficult child as well over the years. If he was up all night, manic, and online - there was/is nothing short of a SWAT team that was going to get him off of the internet. I needed my sleep to deal with him, so I would just shut the door and try to be in temporary denial until the morning and I could better cope with him. As far as therapy, the truth of the matter, that often it does not even work for our difficult children. At age 16 we have just started it again, after taking a 2 year break. Again, there was nothing short of a court order that was going to make him talk to someone when he was mentally not stable. Now that he is stable again, we are starting it again. All this to say, that I am SO sorry! You are a good parent, and you are going to have to go on a massive campaign to prove to the court this exact thing. I know how hard it is to be condemned because you want what is best for your kid, i.e. not a day school or whatever the SD may think is best. The SD has their own narrow bubble perspective of your son....how do they know what is best??? But I guess at this point, do what they want until you can get them out of your hair. Again, I will be thinking about you, and I will post if I can think of anything truly helpful. [/QUOTE]
