[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 398886, member: 1233"] WOW! That is a lot all at once! I am sorry things are so tight financially. It really stinks. I hope the unemployment comes in ASAP. As for your mom, maybe she has seen the way things really are - the way your sibs have taken advantage of her and the way you have not regardless of how much you have struggled. How you have always been there no matter how bad she got or what she needed. I am glad that easy child got her dream job and I hope she loves it as much as she thinks she will. I am sure she will be awesome in that position! I hope her husband gets the job he interviews for also. Sounds like positive steps for katie also - that is HUGE and AMAZING!!! Do you have OCEAN Dental there? Here it is a BIG dental practice that only takes medicaid/soonercare/medicare patients. That is ALL. It started in our town and has grown hugely. The husband of a girl I went to school with saw the need and when his practice started having trouble he changed it to only take medicare, etc... He had a lot of patients with other insurance who either couldn't pay the copays or the insurance denied the claim in spite of preapprovals. In less than 1 year he went from being the only dentist to having 4 others to now having a huge company. That company may not be in OH, but I bet that a similar practice that only takes medical cards is somewhere that you can get to. Have katie check to see if there is a ride program. Here we can call a day in advance and they will drive us to the doctor, dentist, therapist, or even to the pharmacy.
