[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 407450, member: 7948"] Thanks Daisyface - Yes, well we are already up to our eyeballs in debt and I doubt anyone would give us a loan at this point. Our health insurance is an HMO and there's no coverage there at all except for the standard crisis inpatient and ongoing outpatient care. I'm grateful to have that of course, don't mean to sound like I'm complaining. It's so hard - I ask myself - if he was sick with cancer and it was going to cost us $50,000 for treatment that would improve his chances of survival - what would we do? Would we go into bankruptcy to get him that care? I'm not sure I know the answer but somehow when it comes to physical health issues it seems simpler - the outcome more predictable and the treatment concrete. You know what you're paying for and you have a rationale that leads to a hoped for outcome. When it comes to RT it feels like a totally different question. Mental health treatment methods have huge variations, even within the same treating organization. As for the outcome - the chances of success feel remote. Makes me think of jello - you can see it, you can feel it, it seems like a solid but it's all wobbly and if you try to hold onto it it just melts away and returns to it's liquid state. Having trouble staying hopeful today - I feel full of grief. I think some of that is a necessary process that will clear the way for more realistic goals and to help me see my son for who he is today. But it still hurts. Patricia [/QUOTE]
