[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 554038, member: 27"] Kathy, first of all, big caring hugs wrapping around you. OMG, what an ordeal. I understand how you're feeling - if you don't laugh, you'd cry. I also totally get wanting your child to be able to get the mental health help they need, and them not having the insurance or money to do so. It always used to drive me over the edge that even through it all, my difficult child was working and yet, didn't have the insurance for doctor visits or hospital stays and would refuse to go. It just boggles the mind how unfair it is. Your daughter needs help, and it should not be up to you and husband time and time again to have to pay for it. She should be able to qualify for some assistance, and yet, I know with mine - he didn't qualify either. It's a vicious cycle. If you're working, you can't get help, but if they aren't working, they have WAY too much time on their hands and their depression and addiction overtakes everything else. The only suggestion I can make is to try the MHMR agency with your county or state. Sometimes they can help with a referral for assistance to a residential program, if they feel it is needed. Hugs to you and your family. What a scary ordeal. Deb [/QUOTE]
