[QUOTE="Star*, post: 102739, member: 4964"] Hi all - You know collectively and (independently) we are tremendously insightful. Reading and re reading all your posts was like having a brainstorming session (albeit I do not call them THAT when sitting with state workers) with people who had viable solutions to a horrible situation. The woman who runs the group home is elderly and disabled. My son likes her though. She sat with the caseworker and talked to the PO and decided to give him another chance. I don't know exactly how I feel about it. IS she doing this because she REALLY cares? Or is she doing it for the money so close to Christmas? (thanks to the system I think like that) Does she really care about him? See potential in him? WIlling to work one on one with him? (Shrug) dunno. I did get a call from our caseworker. I told him I had to pull off the road driving home Thursday night. I had an anxiety attack. I was fine when I left work. I guess the silent space in my head rented out chaos for my body without me knowing. I felt like I was having a heart attack. I told the caseworker this and he said "I know - I can't wait for MY daughter to leave our home." (Expletive, expletive WHAT? expletive) I said "Apparently you missed the tone in my voice that this was not 'lets feel sorry for YOU day'. Occasionally I'm known to throw my own pity parties. SHEEZ - I guess I should have said "Gosh your 18 year old that is going to high school, straight A's, drives, has a job? WOW you must be heart broken." Anywho - they are going to keep Dude, for now. And in the mean time since we ALL KNOW it is NOT going to be the miracle worker in the hills of NC - upon my suggestion are going to look for a new placement for him. Rolling eyes - gosh - thanks. Oh funny though - he said "YEah when you said why don't I take him to MY house for the week, I bet you find a placement toot suite - I thought NO WAY would I want your kid in MY home." (REALLY CASEWORKER???) hahaha The things I have been reduced to saying to get my point across are pathetic. Thanks for listening. Star [/QUOTE]
