I can only hope the same for you and your son.

Thanks. I hope for someone who can connect with my son. (Or better yet that my son will take the initiative here in some way.) I feel like I have too much history with him. Unfortunately what is available is the mhc, and the people there already believe my son is dangerous. This will confirm that opinion. He really isn't helping his case much.
His case manager, who seems to be reasonably good, had arranged for someone to come to my house to see him twice a week. He would come himself one day, and another young man would come a second day. This was to be the first week. And today was to have been the first day the other guy would come.
I'm pretty familiar with the mhc, and what I know is that when they say they'll do something they generally don't do it. So I asked the case manager for reassurance that they would follow through on this. And he said they surely would. And of course today that other guy cancelled on my son - his very first visit!
It's a sucky system from top to bottom.
