Now I hear from the GAL! LOL it is sooooo laughable. Now that it's all fell apart and they have NO WHERE to put her she wants to know what we want? Too late lady. and I sure gave her an earful about it!
Wow! And really, after all that has happened, even if you tell them what you feel would be the best situation for your daughter, how can you possibly believe that they will listen to you?

I just forwarded her the email that I sent the worker about the fact we thought sending her to living to independent living was a big mistake and the only reason she wants ADD drugs is to sell them. But I also said we were very disappointed that this was the FIRST time we had heard from her throughout this entire case and that we never could understand how she was advocating for our daughter's best interest without interviewing us, her other siblings in the house , her therapists etc. And that if someone had talked to someone other than our daughter maybe we would not all be in this sad situation. Then in closing I said if you have further do not hesitate to contact us as we are available to you as we always HAVE been since the START of this case.
That stupid witch. I can't wait until my daughter is 18 and we file a complaint with the bar association!
Sadly, when I read the thread title, my first thought was 'Oh I'm defiintely going to believe it'
It's so laughable and ridiculous and it makes me angry
Whichever country you're in, the system does very similar and stupid things. They have to be right. They exhaust every ridiculous way of trying to make themselves right and the parents wrong...then when they are proved wrong they (IME) disengage and leave everyone with as little help as they can possibly get away with
If they did actually listen to you now, and involved you in planning for your D, it would at least be helpful. Though that isn't likely to happen I guess!

Having been there and done that, I applaud you for writing this 'in a nutshell paragraph' in one of the best ways I've seen. The systems are truly broken and led by such wise people.......most of which have never raised children nor have they adopted.
Some line from the Bible says, ..."Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools....'
That about covers it all.

PS....And Sasafrass, this kind of thing is SO typical......so stupid that few will actually believe it; but those of us who've BTDT or known someone closely who has, will believe every word!
