[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 188943, member: 1514"] Steely...one more thing I wanted to say that I forgot to say. I know...like that is an odd thing to happen to me...lol. I so understand how you feel about the dumb social workers at the hospital. I dont want to disparage all social workers but I cant say I have ever met any that had enough sense to fill a bucket. Im sure there are a few good ones. When Cory went inpatient the first time at 13 I knew we only had a few short days to get everything sorted out. I didnt want to waste time on piddly junk. We got this social worker for "family group" who wanted to sit down with us and discuss our feelings on how we felt about him getting this diagnosis of bipolar. I just didnt want to waste that time. Personally I didnt give one iota what they wanted to call it, lets talk about how to put plans in place to get him services to help him either in residential, day treatment or intensive community services. Oh no, that upset her greatly! I must be some kind of monster mother to not have feelings. She actually turned, looked at Cory and asked him how it felt to have a mother who didnt love him! Then she told Tony that he should dump me and raise Cory as a single Dad. LOL....he told her she was crazy as a loon. I was the one that beat the bushes looking for any and all services out there for him and if anyone knew what it was like to be bipolar, it was me. That I knew more about mental health issues that she did so she could just back off. I dont think we got much out of that stay but some medications. [/QUOTE]
