From a client today:
"Why do some moms who do everything they are asked to do lose their kids and some moms who relapse still have their kids? Why?"
I don't know.
As much as I like to think the system treats each case the same, I believe it's not reality. In reality it really depends on a multitude of factors such as how aggressive a client's worker is, the state of mind of the judge on that day, etc.
How sad is this?
The tie between a mother and her children will be permanetly severed today. My heart is heavy. I really thought the mother was progressing and doing well. Apparently it was not enough.
:(
Until our next visit,
New BSW
