Both the childrnes psych eval and the mother's actually...persoanlly, I feel like everybody is way too into this mother. They cater to her unlike anything I could have imagined without seeing it myself. She threatens suicide, they increase visits...they won't consider decreasing unless she is "stable." Ummmm...WT??? is right.
The caveet? The CHILDRENS psych eval (the older two, that is, not the baby) showed that discontinuing visits would be traumatic. But in reality, they really seemed okay without visits. Im totally open to something that would resemble and "open adoption" (although I realize that is not exactly what it will be due to the fact hat the TPR did go through) the 15th was the end of the waiting period and despite her threats she did not appeal. I think part of what the case worker is doing is trying to give closure so the extended family wont go for the kids...if that makes sense...she really doesnt think that would be the best thing for them... And if we make mom too upset, then extended family will be stepping in.
Not to mention, the children still have not been informed and are still beign told that "one day soon, I will get you back..." So we have to wean them into this slowly I suppose.
