Perhaps with her ptsd and depression she wasn’t thinking straight because I don’t see how difficult it would have been for the Ffc to ask her Dr for a mental health treatment plan for L. I believe it entitles you to 10 Medicare rebated sessions with a specialist.I'm struggling to find the article with the direct quote. In evidence the friend recounted when FFC disclosed kicking the child and saying she was not coping. The friend said maybe she needed more support to which FFC said she had applied for it but it was declined. I'm assuming it was support to help manage the child's behaviour based on the word "applied" in context to the conversation. If you want your own support, you just go out and get it, it's not someone else's decision. MOO
Then again I can’t understand why Ffc chose to care for another child when clearly she was suffering from her own mental health issues.
