What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Long story short. DD 10 was at home fri night. SM was going to bed and found a letter from DD basically telling everyone she loves them b4 she died and wanted everyone to stop fighting. Very sad. I was at work so SM called Mom. Mom and SM cried on the phone and mom apologized for everything.
Mom said she noe sees what bring DD into everything has done. and so on. There is no more fighting between everyone everyone is trying to work together to help DD.
DD was taken to the children s crisis center Mon morning as per our insurance in order to get a referral for a counselor. DD was there for 3+ hours speaking with a counselor. Counselor brought me into another room and asked if I knew about everything going on with mom and ever seeked help for DD. I said yes that DD had been seeing a school counselor for 3 years. She informed me they are not all licensed???
Anyways, she informed me that everything DD has told her about the situation leads her to believe mom is doing Domestic Emotional Abuse to DD. She said she is on the verge of calling CPS on mom but it would be her supervisors final call.
She informed that if/when she calls CPS they will come out to my house and interview all my children as well as Moms. She said it is standard. But that mom might be in some serious trouble because of what this has done to DD. She said that if I dont follow her recommendations that CPS would be called on me. No problem I was there to get help for DD.
1. Mom/Sdad do not beat DD. Isnt that domestic? I understand the emotional abuse part
2. HEr recommendations were to get DD in counseling and do family therapy with all parents (steps included). We are all on board with this. My question is counselor told me she would be calling me this week to see my progress and if I had not done her recommendations she would report me.
-soonest I can get DD in as a new patient is This friday at 4PM....its booked. Mom and I are both going. The next appointment was in june. They will not do group until after they have seen DD a few times. So how do I handle that?
3. What will CPS do with mom? I feel this is to late. Mom is actually on boared and being involved and has acknowledge everything she ever told DD. I understand to late...but I truly believe this was a eye opener for her.
