Well, got my records from mental health & talked to my counselor. There was no eval done. Went sraight to theraphy. Of course being the original woman I seen is no longer there, there's no way to find out why.Hubby spoke to the caseworker yesterday & was informed that we can no longer escort our kids to the bathroom alone because of a comment made. It was said in the visiting room not the bathroom. My son asked his father when they were coming home. Hubby told him we were hiring a lawyer but we would need to borrow some of their money (savings accounts that we opened for them that also has my name on it). My son said yeah, so, you'll give it back to us, right? No biggie. That was said a couple weeks ago. This was brought up to the caseworker Friday. We're thinking my parents were discussing how we were able to hire a lawyer & my son said daddy took our money. My kids have always had input on everything. I admit most parents do hide some things from their kids, but our way of thinking is if it concerns them, then they have a right to know.My son is mature for his age & understands more than any of these people give him credit for.If we thought different than nothing would've been said. Also now children & family services are asking for financial info from us. Paystubs, soc. sec. #'s, birth certs, etc. supposingly my parents aren't getting foster care subsidy, so what is the money they get from state & federal going for. They tell me they need this info to get reimbursed for preventative services they're providing. Caseworker explains this as transportation of kids for visits, meeting with family, etc. What aboout the time lost from work for my husband to do these things & money spent on these evals & theraphy sessions that had to come from our pockets?They gonna reimbuse us for that? Yeah, I know, dream on. Our lawyer called their lawyer Thursday, & is still waiting to hear back from them. He's gonna try again today. If he doesn't hear anything or doesn't get the results he wants, then he's gonna file a petition with the court. He was hoping to settle out of court, but.
