Would I be wrong to ask to be taken off this case
I'm a caseworker and a new caseworker at that. I graduated with my degree in social work not too long ago. I like my job but I feel for my first actual case with them I'm not equipped to handle this man. When we first started meeting I found out his very disturbed childhood but the recent thing in his life right now and he and his mom. Blood mom. Have sex.... I was thrown off by that. And clearly from what I've been told about her she's an awful human but there's nothing I can do to help him legally because he's an adult not a child and consenting to sex with his mom. I've tried to help. His therapist who is threw the same place I work and we are all supposed to communicate with each other has not been helpful. She doesn't respond to emails when I'm trying to help him. He will also randomly stop taking his medication and then he blows up my phone during that time because he thinks the government is out to kill him. Then we had a whole thing were he did cut off his mom but recently told me that hooked up again and I was just thinking "Come on dude. We've been working through this." He recently quit his medication again and I just think I don't have enough experience for his case. I don't want it to seem like I'm abandoning him. I hate this. But I just feel like I'm not equipped to handle his case and think he should be given a different more experienced caseworker. Would I be awful I ask to be taken off the case?
