[QUOTE="klmno, post: 160141, member: 3699"] Ok, I am trying really hard to get myself started on writing tonight so I can clean house and do domestic chores this weekend. My boss suggested covering up holes in walls with posters in difficult child's bedroom and our extra room that I call the guys' game room. I thought that was a good idea. My problem tonight is that I feel like clamming up and not telling anything more to the PO or GAL. I can't help it- they are too much like my family in making rash decisions. If my question about approval to cahnge therapist and/or psychiatrist lead her to call them all and make statements like "so the treatment plan is changing- can you tell me about this" after the way she jumped to conclusions and almost had difficult child taken away last year, I can't imagine ever telling her anything again. First of all, I feel like I would be "forcing" the information on her. It really makes me cringe. I don't think people like that should have any say-so in making decisions for kids, much less in determining the future of our difficult child's. If she can't handle that, she couldn't handle raising one, and if she couldn't handle raising one, then how can she know enough or understand enough to make a recommendation on what is in their best interests? And aren't GAL's supposed to be non-biased? If the &*%$#* defense attorny would call back, I could find out if he can put me on the stand to testify at difficult child's hearings. I don't know if I can or not. [/QUOTE]
