Thanks Everyone! Yes Momof4, there is a lot of anger in my original post. I have had enough of this woman. The only thing that keeps me going with this kid is the fact that I KNOW I can help/fix part of his life. I can offer stability and wholesomeness that he obviously doesnt get at home. I know I have to let them go... I just want these children that I care about to leave "better" than they came. I have such an interest in "raising" quality citizens, not just getting through the day. As a whole, I really love this "job", I just don't have a lot of practice in dealing with persistant problem parents. I don't really have too much experience with this part of the business. I have had issues with parents and still have small issues but this one just feels wrong. I'm sure you all know what i mean. The child is VERY difficult to control. He runs wild and screams all the time. He can't sit still for the life of him, and has NO respect for anyone's property. You are all right, this family has to go. Now I just have to figure out a way to do this. I have never had to term a family before. How have you guys delt with a termination situation?

Thanks.
