[QUOTE="klmno, post: 159720, member: 3699"] You know, slsh, I just noticed the other day a sample parent report on this board. Oddly enough- not a single person here (where I live) has mentioned it to me- if it wasn't for this board, I wouldn't even know that they existed. That was what I thought was so wierd last year- I didn't break the law and was proven to be a fit parent, yet the GAL and PO keep acting like I am a parent who has custody hanging on a thread if I don't do exaactly what they say. I don't think it is sending a good message to difficult child- not to mention- the energy should really be spent on getting him the help he needs. I thought the judge was on board after I testified to her in Jan.- but then I thought the GAL was too. Actually, the GAL went in there that time telling the judge that I was a good mother. Really, I guess it is the old pattern of just looking for someone to blame- and they assume it must be either my fault or difficult child is just a bad seed. Well, I think it is no one's fault- not that he couldn't make a little more effort and needs to get back on track at times- but it isn't his fault that he is BiPolar (BP). Anyway- thanks for the repsonse- it is a very good idea. I'm going to look at that report again. I re-read the stuff I faxed her a week or so ago and I really don't see anything in it absurd- other than of course, there was the list of BiPolar (BP) symptoms in black and white in front of her. Well, shoot, if the sd has adapted, she can too. Let's just hope the judge is already educated on this. [/QUOTE]
