So, DS, STBX & I have been seeing social workers and counselors regarding DS's behavior (he has ADD and had threatened suicide; had started fires, etc)... we've been seeing a special team of SWs for the past month or so. In addition, the court investigator has contacted the SW team, and DS's counselors.

Well, the upshot of this is that the SW from the team told me that right off the BAT, at the 1st meeting w/ them and their supervisor and me and DSs (STBX was there too), their supervisor IMMEDIATELY saw that STBX is a user. The SW also told me that they can "see right through him" !!! Including his "parenting" style... his history of letting DS drive (he's only 10)... I showed the SW the letter from today, where STBX (or his mom) included DS into our business affairs. She said it was HIGHLY inappropriate, and that they'd spoken with the court investigator, and told her their findings. The SW said that they don't say which parent the kid should/shouldn't be with, but only what their observations are... and the senior SW thinks STBX is a user with a serious lack of parenting skills... that he just says things because he thinks that it's what the SWs want to hear... but that STBX also constantly contradicts himself, so they don't trust STBX at ALL... :-D I thought NO ONE would believe me about him.
