> TD - I don't know anything about the laws and procedures of your state, but I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that the court could appoint an attorney to represent your child and that person maybe can be trusted to do some of the advocacy that you're not sure you're getting now. If your pdoc is as supportive as he sounds, you may want to make him available to your child's attorney if one is appointed. Also, if your husband is anything like mine (who is not the schmuck you're describing) he's probably somewhat clueless about your illness and your ability to deal with it. He may take the hospitalization as a sign that you're psychotic and not understand that it's really just a good environment for making medication changes. If the judge gets wind of the fact that he's maybe making a mountain out of a molehill at your expense, it could really work against him. BTW, what is it about your attorney that you don't trust? How long has he been practising? How did you come to hire him? How much of this kind of work has he done? Keep us posted. ksvt
