Not my Kid not my problem getting old

My SS12 drives me bonkers but as much as I hate him, I love him too. He has been through a lot and needs help. Well in October me and DH got lectured to by BM about SS12's behavior. First I have never ever had a women talk to me like that before. Not even my mother would risk it. But I kept my mouth shut because its not my place. Go me.

Well, she put him in counseling, which we never got invited or asked to go to, and has him on two different meds. The meds are helping with his behavior but the kid has a ton of unresolved issues expecially with me. Well, found out she pulled him out of counseling and short of a custody battle there is nothing we can do. He comes to live with us this summer and I don't know how its going to be. She is keeping him on meds going through his general doctor.

Maybe I am pissed about it because she belittled me for not keeping up with communication about his behavior and that I wasn't his mother. Or the fact that I am almost done with my Masters in Psychology and I know a hell of a lot better then to pull him out of something just because she doesn't want to pay for it. She never asked us for anything to help.

I know he is not my kid, so I shouldn't even think about it. But I am a mom and I have feelings and I feel for this child and there is nothing me or DH can do at this point. I just want to beat the living crap out of this women. The worst part is she has her LMSW... you would think she would know how important open communication is and family therapy is...

Yeah I know, very scary. Usually she stays out of my hair. But she keeps me away from the counseling on purpose and has told me as much. Im not his mother, so I have no right to do anything or say anything. Her and DH got into a blow up over it and it has taken this long for things to settle.

If the skid comes to live with you for summer, there are three months that DH can take him to see a counselor, since BM won't do it anymore.
