Those d-----d social workers. May G-d bless them and keep them ...... far away from me!!!!!!!! i just called the chief sw to tell her i would prblaby not be able to make our meeting tomorrow because of the senate hearing, and she replied - Well, I guess you have to decide what is more important to you - going to a senate hearing or having your child come home to live with you, In her best self righteous tone, she says - because these meetings are very important and they'll decide whether jessi is recommended to come home permanently. So i called Senator Jane Woods,(703 352 1991) our State Senator who is very involved with health care issues, and Social Services comes under State jurisdiction - any way i spoke to her aide, Stacie - who once again offered to intervene on my behalf - but i dont see what good that would do - because the social workers believe they are right,and anything i say or do would just antagonize them . But she was very sympathetic. And then SW called back to say she couldn't change the date of the meeting and stated in no uncertain terms that i would be jeopardizing Jessi's chances of coming home permanently, and that i had to decide which was more important to me. I asked her if this was a threat, and she said no - i said it sure sounded like one, and on that note we ended the conversation. Now what do i do? do i play their game and stay home for their silly meeting tomorrow where i'm going to be submitted to the usual barrage of two hours of hearing how inadequate i am as a parent etc... or do i just ignore them and go to the senate hearing and hope i get home in time or get Seen Woods to take this up with the SOCIal Services people - who have stated that they do not think that my "so-called" Parkinson's is nearly as disabling as I would have them believe (this was written in one of the reports) YOURS IN ANGER AND ANGUISH hilary blue
