Any experience giving up custody?


Our 8 year old daughter is currently in a residential care facility. She has a long history of manipulative, violent, and destructive behavior. Our family is not safe when she's at home. Despite many therapists, medications, facilities, and interventions she refuses to engage with any therapy to work on her rage or coping skills. Because of insurance, and her refusal to work towards any therapeutic goals (even just participating in therapy), she may not have much time left at the residential facility. My husband and I have an appointment with a lawyer to discuss terminating custody so she can continue to get the intensive oversight and care she needs, perhaps in a group home, which is not covered by any insurance available to us.Has anyone been through this process before? If so, what should we expect? What do you wish you knew before going down this road? via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2EXKBgE
