My widowed mother threatened to ditch me for Foster Care/City House care in Texas. Is it legally possible?
Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal if it was once, but this is the 5th time this year and she says she wants to kick me out because I’m a medical burden and rebellious.
She threatens to have a lawyer sign me over and have me live at city house with life insurance for my dad’s recent death. She also threatened foster care and abandonment in an Ikea store. I want to know if this is legal for her to do any of the above 3.
We have a CPS record for various things but nothing serious. She assaulted me 2 weeks ago but the police blew me off and told me to grow up.
Me: 15/Male/High School Student in texas. Suffering from various medical issues that have to be taken care of ASAP.
Mom: Widowed for a little over a year.
I would REALLY appreciate it if you informed me about the legality of these threats. It sounds possible but then again, don’t all parents want to ditch their kids?
Thanks!
We got into the arguments about my life-threatening case of pectus excavatum.
Yes some days all parents want to ditch their kids and go to the beach. Then the kids come screaming in the house and need lunch and the parents forget about it and tend to their little darlings. I am sorry she is verbalizing these things to you, she sounds like she is at the end of her rope and concerned that she cannot take care of you. Legal, I don’t know. Appropriate to say to your kids, NO. Hope you can find a counselor at your next school and talk to someone about how all this is affecting you.

It is. If she can prove she can’t control you and that you are not behaving she can give the responsibility to the state. Seems like you guys are going through a rough moment. Maybe you should not focus and what she can and can not do. Why don’t try to get to the root of the problem? She is grieving and so do you. Loosing a loved one is difficult. I know right now everything might seem unfair to you but you need to think that she is probably angry towards the world… and maybe you too. Cut her some slack and help her get over this. Maybe you are having behavioral problems and is to much for her right now. Is normal for someone of your age not wanting to take responsibility of their actions, but look deep within and see how you are also not contributing to a solution by trying to get assault charges on your mother. She could handle things better, but so do you. She has a lot on her plate and is letting the emotions get to her. If you can talk to a counselor. If you do, don’t do it in a vindictive way (trying to get her in trouble and trying to prove yourself right)Do it because you are a good man and hate having all this drama with your mother. All of you need help to get over this issues. It might seem like she don’t care because she is frustrated, but seeing her own son sick beats her even more. Her madness is a reaction of not having control of what is going on and who she loves. Help her, she is your mother after all.
