[QUOTE="klmno, post: 156101, member: 3699"] Thanks to everyone for the insight! I have decided to try to hang on a little longer with the insurance that I have. I will pay out of pocket for another month- I am trying to line up programs for difficult child to attend so maybe I can work very close to full time hours during the summer- assuming he isn't put in detention. If he's in detention, I can work however many hours I need, but of course, that isn't the ideal situation. The big problem is that if I work 38 hours a week, I still have to pay the insurance. If I can work 40 hours every week, they pay mine and difficult child's. You would think 30 hours or more would get half paid or something, but no. If I work 40 hours, I can't take him to appts and be here supervising him after school. If he stays on probation, then there is more of a problem. After reading all this, I guess my big concern is that if I could get him on medicaid or other state assistance, there would be problems getting adequate professionals- and I am really picky about his mental health professionals- well, I don't think I am picky- I think it is hard to find competent ones who take the insurance, who are males (recommended by everyone for difficult child due to his specific underlying issues), who don't go back to the behavior management cr*p, who really do have some experience with kids who have mood cycling, and who keep up with files, return calls, and don't take 2+ hours in their office with me sitting in the waiting room. Then of course, difficult child and I need to feel comfortable with them. Is that picky? LOL! [/QUOTE]
