[QUOTE="nvts, post: 404175, member: 3814"] Boy do I get how you feel! difficult child 1 is in a residential program that allows him to remain in his zoned school. I went to parent/teacher conferences in the fall and let me tell you - I felt like a piece of **** just from the demeanor of some of the teachers. The point of the community residence is for me to retain custody and maintain a relationship with the school. The residence sent a Social Worker to attend as well. I'd say about 1/2 of the teachers, as soon as they heard "Social Worker" literally looked me up and down and physically turned from me to address her. I was made to feel like a pariah. Like ACS had taken my kid away. I ALMOST made the remark that CLEARLY I'm not a crack head or heroin addict (I'm somewhat plus sized) so I must have beaten him OR do you want to ask me what happened. I never felt so "less than" than I did that day. So many people had been supportive up to that point that it caught me completely off guard. So much for doing the right thing for as many people involved as possible. [/QUOTE]
