I, as usual, agree with Boulderbabe...save the ammo for the nuclear explosion.
But, now that I know these requests are coming from the visit supervisor, this puts a whole new spin on things for me. The visit supervisor is simply supposed to supervise the visit and report to the cw regarding bmom's parenting ability, bonding, etc....she is not the middle man. I can't imagine why she would put herself in that position, but clearly she is. I see that you have asked her to go through the cw, but I would also give the cw a heads up....sounds like you don't even know how cw feels about all this. You may be surprised by her reaction.
On a side note, I have been following your threads with interest of late. No one has been more frustrated with my fkids' bparents and cw (more importantly) than I, and if you look at my signature and read my posts from a few years ago, you'll see why. My advice is to remember a few things to help keep your sanity: 1. This is the sickest system in existence....I've worked in prison, and Childrens Services is far sicker than that. 2. The people in power in this sick system have their own agendas beyond what is in the best interests of the involved children. 3. None of this is about you. It feels VERY personal, but it's not. 4. People on this forum really are here to support you. There are no others that better understand where you are at than we do. That being said, we'll also give you a kick in the pants as needed, and that's awfully helpful sometimes too.
Good luck sister...hang in there.
