difficult child#1 applied for disability years ago following his Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) brain surgery. I did not participate in the process because I was then convinced and remain convinced that he doesn't have a shot at approval. He was turned down and the attorneys have him scheduled for the third hearing next month.
I'm trying to avoid all stress as much as possible lately but old habits die hard. Even tho I have never expected him to be successful getting disability yesterday I found my stress increasing when he got a call telling him that he has an appointment. with same local psychologist who determined difficult child#2 should be cut off from his disability/medicaid coverage. When difficult child#2 began living with me in elementary school (although he had stayed with us five out of seven days prior to that) I took him twice a week for counseling with this man and I was not impressed. He's not an "evil" man but he is not sharp enough to even be in the pin pack. Ugh!
I'm trying to "accept the things I can not change" but this Dude is supplementing his income healthily by determining that anyone who is not totally disabled is capable of working repetitive manufacturing jobs..in a community with no manufacturing. End of vent. Deep breathing time. Sigh. Exhale. Think positive and healthy thoughts. DDD
