[QUOTE="Ehlena, post: 385181, member: 6097"] He's on Adderall for the ADHD, but that's it. We've mentioned several times that he should probably be seen to have his medications adjusted, but we haven't heard anything back on that front. Thank you so much, suziestar and crazymama30. I think we are going to ask that he be seen by a psychiatrist. I'm just so frustrated with the system. My husband and I are both young, and we were told in the beginning that we simply didn't have enough experience parenting, that reading all the books that we'd read were not a substitute, etc. Also that one bad year in school wouldn't hurt him. I'm just sick at heart over the wasted year because no one really believed us or listened to us. We were told, after difficult child tried to break into our home while he was in foster care, that we needed to make him feel comfortable asking for things. It's been like living in a world of crazy. We've talked to our lawyer, and she's also advised us not to take him back if he still doesn't want to come back. The social worker is going to extend our reunification services for six months. She's hoping that with more time spent with us that difficult child will do the reasonable thing and want to come home. Hah! difficult child is rarely ever reasonable. So I have no idea where that's going to leave us in six months. [/QUOTE]
