We found out a couple of weeks ago that SS14 was being seen by a therapist - Great, that kid needs help. We wanted to know why though- we figured this was BM trying to come up with things for court and using a therapist to get there.

Turns out he was referred by the cardiologist- WHO gave him his POTS diagnosis based on a history with EDS. HOWEVER as we have proven by 2 different specialist (one being genetics) SS does not have EDS. He was sent to the counselor to deal with depression since between POTS and EDS he would be limited in life. Yep... Ladies and Gentlemen... BM.

So the last time I heard from BM1 was probably 3+ months ago. She FB messaged me and wanted SS's #. I told her I would let DH know that she wanted it and it wasn't my place to do more than that. She got nasty, I ignored. 

StepGBM let me know that I should keep her out of his life. GBM has custody of BM's younger 4 kids. The middle 2 live with their dad and BM doesn't even have supervised visits. SS has lived with DH full time since SS was less than 1 and BM has only had supervised visits once a month since he was 2. She rarely has even done those. 

DH had his talk, about an hour and half talk! Good news is the GAL agrees something is going on and he promised to talk to SS and make his recommendation for spring break before our deposit is due! DH said he felt really good about it all. He told DH that short of abuse there is no reason for SS to not come with us. He also said abuse would need to be proven especially with all the documentation we provided about BM!

I just found out that SS missed 2 days of school last week. I get the weekly attendance updates to my phone. They said medical. I called the school to ask where SS had been seen. Turns out it was at a counselors office. Gave the info to DH. I think he should call and set it up so that they can do a phone session together. I think it would be great for a counselor to have all this info. I have been saying SS should see a counselor for a while. Now that BM is using one thinking she is solidifying her case against DH, we can turn it into family therapy.
