Last Thursday SD(12) disclosed to her dad (my SO) that her antidepressant prescription ran out over a week ago so she hasn't been taking it.  BM has primary placement (hopefully for not too much longer). To keep SD out of the conflict, SO waited until SD was with him this past weekend to see for himself if the antidepressant was sent.  It wasn't.  He sent an OFW asking about the medication.

Little background: the latest CO gave SO a tie-breaking decision for any disagreements regarding medical care - BM NOT happy about it.  SO has stepped up and has become way more involved with her medical appointments since, even coordinating with a new therapist for SD and getting access to her medical records via MyChart.  For whatever reason, BM has interpreted the order in her pea-sized brain as SO is responsible for ALL her medical care.  We got wind of this mentality weeks ago when SD told us BM wouldn't get her new glasses because "that's dads responsibility."  Since BM has primary placement, we assumed she was handling the day-to-day care and needs of SD, so we were quite alarmed to hear that such an important medication had lapsed.  SD has been on this medication since May, still 6 refills left....never had an issue until now.

Plenty of opportunities to communicate about the meds.  On Sunday night she writes in OFW, "Keeping track of her medications is part of taking care of her medical needs, which the courts assigned you the responsibility of handling. Since this is such an extremely important matter and I don't want to take the chance of [SD] having to go any longer without her medicine, I have already called in to refill."

Does she really think this is going to make her look good?  First of all, there is no court order saying he is solely responsible for SD medical needs.  Second of all, she all but admits to absolving herself of these tasks because its not her job?  What?!  She let an important mood-stabalizing medication lapse just to make SO look bad?  Whhhhyyyyyy does this woman have ANY rights to her child??!! 

My blood boiled.  I reached out to the GAL - eff staying in my lane.  This is neglect, pure and simple.  SO was relieved I contacted the GAL before he did - he feels he has sent so many emails to the GAL in the last few weeks he worried he was appearing as a "tattle tale." SO went to look up the medication in MyChart, learned that BM switched pharmacies from a national chain to a smaller local one closer to where she lives.  His reply to his deranged ex, "the inaccuracies of this response will be addressed at our next court hearing."  *chef kiss*

He also let her know that he was out of state for work, and would not be able to attend SD Ortho appointment Monday afternoon nor SD therapy appointment on Wednesday - said if she was unable to take SD, he would reschedule the appointments (BM doesn't work, no issues with getting her to appointments before).  He woke up to an OFW schedule change for the Ortho appointment, with the notation "[SO] unable to attend." but nothing about the therapy appointment.  Apparently refilling medications = dad responsibility.  Rescheduling monthly ortho appointment because dad can't attend = BM responsibility.

I really hope this waste of space gets her arse handed to her in two weeks by the court.  I'm not holding my breath, but I still have hope.

Vent over.  Thanks for reading!
