[QUOTE="klmno, post: 454675, member: 3699"] Thanks, Ladies! I apologize for being cranky and using a bad choice of words. I guess I'm mad at the world right now but don't want to take it out on you. DJ, I difinitely agree that difficult child needed a strong man in the house and that would have greatly decreased problems, but I LOVE the police- they have always done a competent job, in my humble opinion. CSU people (attnys in Department of Juvenile Justice, POs, etc, including MST) are complete nitwits. I used the example with PO this last meeting when trying to explain to him why his actions weren't portraying a role of authority over difficult child: if a wife who's being beaten calls cops and cops come and tell the husband they are sorry for having to take him in but the wife is demanding it, then they hold him a few hours or even a day then let him go so he comes home, how exactly is he going to feel about her and what exactly is likely to happen as a result? Honestly, I can't believe that I have to try to explain to a Department of Juvenile Justice person why this approach seems to instigate more problems and solves zero. But I do. And every time one seems to get it, then the person gets switched to someone "new". THAT is what we are getting from everyone in csu and have been getting for over 5 years now, while my son deteroriates. I know my son has made his choices, but these people s' choices sure haven't helped difficult child and they have fought against any real help I tried to get while all the time handling things in this kind of assanign way. Of course this is one of those states where they can't be held liable if the kid kills me or someone else or himself. Nevertheless, I'm thinking the bar wioll get a piece of my mind too since I have nothing to lose at this point. WTH kind of GAL reefuses to advocate for something a state psychiatrist says a kid needs and instead advocates for Department of Juvenile Justice and still blames that on the only person the kid has in his life who's worth anything at all- not that I'm perfect, but I've always supported difficult child and been there for him and been in his corner?
