I'm so annoyed

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
to the ex and her evil husband for all the things they did to Christian. I have spent months trying to fix the damage she has done, and some days I feel like I am getting no where. He takes all the evil things they taught him and uses it on his brothers. I know he can't help it to a degree, but it is stressful!

I just needed to get that out...thanks for listening.

Stupid doctor/social worker told Mike he didn't need it. I told Mike he does...you don't just all of a sudden feel better after something like this happens. We agreed last week that he would look for a new doctor, because this is really wearing on everyone.

Can you self refer to a provider for psych services with your ins? I would give them a call and check your benefits and then find a provider and do a self referal. Most of the time you have to contact the ins company anyway to get the initail auth

It does get better! I promise!! Although I hate to say, not too soon after it is, they start puberty and the attitude that goes along with it!!

No seriously, the first couple years are HARD!! YOU know you did the right thing and at some point, he will too!!

OMG is the Dr a crackpot????? I mean heck after all that he is been through, him needing counselling is obvious!!! I was a lot older when I went through my abuse, and sure needed it, and didn't get the hlep i needed until I was alot older.

My thoughts are with you all. I think that getting a new dr is a great idea. Good luck with everything

I agree with Becky. My nieces are still in counseling. The state still hasn't decided what to do about visit with their bio mom.

Follow the steps Becky outlined. After anythign traumatic, a child needs help.

I hear you and I DO feel for you!

As you all know from the earlier post I made in February, SD finally wanted to get away from bio and live with us, even though she came as a package. (pregnant at 15) To relate to your post Tara, as much as we hoped, prayed and tried, as I am sure you and your DH have done over the years (to do the right things that is), they turn out the way you feared. She decided last Friday that she wanted to go home, marry her 15 yr old flunky boyfriend and get a job. We basically put the world at her feet and she spat on it. (without going into all the details) I am so mad as I know you are Tara and I guess there is just nothing we can do about it. Your situation is different though in that SS still has influence over your own children. Without knowing what all else has gone on here, if it were me, I would demand he be in counseling in and out of school and if not, that different arrangements be made for the sake of the children you two share. I just cannot believe what my SD has done. I sooooooo believed in her. She has chosen an extrememly hard road. (already on welfare and I know boyfriend will not hang around and if he does, will be a bad influence and end up leaving anyway.)

Tara, I guess all we can try to do is to know that we have done all that we could for the child, and let it go. I would, then, turn to the protection and welfare of the other children, for they do not need to suffer for someone else's past.

Good luck and prayers Dear!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear things turned out that way. Atleast you and DH know that you gave her every opportunity to have a good, stable life. Hopefully everything will work out for her. Maybe she will change her mind after she gets a dose of how hard things can be.
