I should know by now that if life seems like it's calming down and falling into place, it's really just a temporary repreive from chaos.
The sitter I hired when I got the DA job quit just two months into it, causing of course the upheaval of attempting to find yet another person to watch kiddo, who is actually even remotely qualified to deal with a child with special needs.
So I think to myself, hey, I'm imbedded in the school district now, what with kiddo in the Developmental program, shouldn't they be able to provide me resources for finding appropriate care? So I pop off a heartfelt email to the psychologist handling kiddos case, explaining that I lost another sitter, and his behavior was the cause, I need help finding a new sitter, and would also like help finding a behavioral counselor to work with us to find some way of handling him for the sitters. Mind you, I'm already tearing my hair out at the conversation this spurned between me and my ex, who feels that discipline should simply consist of threatening kiddo with beatings.
So, after sending off that email asking for helpful resources, you can imagine my shock and utter pissiness of getting back a letter that simply states I need to medicate my child. No resources, no list of childcare providers, not even a damn book recommendation, just "I recommend trial medications".
What. The. FUCK.
So, mamas and papas, and general friends who read this blog, once again you shall see the ferocious MotherHoodlum strap on a sheild and sword, and do battle with the great beast of stupidity.
I've asked my pediatrician to link me to UW's behavioral folks, who will give me a full evaluation. I've stated to them ahead of time medication is not on the damn table, especially considering he doesn't have a behavioral issue diagnosed. ANd today I get to go meet with aforementioned psychologist, whom I will promptly be explaining that I am REMOVING my son from their ridiculous care, because that was just the most retarded fucking thing anyone could have told me.
