[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 606586, member: 1967"] Wow, RE, I keep hearing about all of these services available in other states but there was nothing like there here in Georgia and since difficult child won't get a Florida license (even though her GA license expired two months ago), I don't think she qualifies for services there. I did check into SSI for her with a specialist that NAMI recommended and he said that difficult child made too much money to qualify (anything over $1000 a month disqualifies you). He also said her addiction issues would disqualify her even though she also has a mental health diagnosis because they can't tell whether it is the addiction issues or MH issues that keep her from being able to hold down a job and support herself. He also said she would get at best $800 a month and she is making $1600 a month right now so she is actually better off working. difficult child texted a little while ago to say that the best insurance quote she was able to get was $340 down and $188.00 a month. husband said that he thinks we should pay the down payment and help her with part of the monthly payment since she is working full time and paying her own bills with help from us on the sober house rent. He says it is worth it to keep her "a state away." I am torn because I feel like we are trapped in a never ending drain on our resources. Then again, if she is doing her best and staying sober and working, isn't she fulfilling "do to get?" Wasn't this our dream a year ago when we found out that she was using heroin? Another difficult child dilemma. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
