So, when difficult child ran away and was reported missing to local police, we also notified the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children...
The GOOD news is that the NCMEC offers family advocacy services, even after your children are found...and they have been in contact with us about getting some help for us, despite the roadblocks we are encountering with medicaid.
The advocates have been contacting folks in our areas to see if anyone will treat difficult child pro bono....and/or have a recommendation for a facility or service they can offer our family.
I feel kinda bad, though....a woman called today and I basically unloaded over the phone....and now I feel embarassed that I said so much. I guess it is just that I have become so accustomed to NOT being heard, that when someone does hear, my mouth goes overboard.
So I am hopeful that there will be a solution for us...
And embarassed that this poor woman must think I am a crazy person.
Keep your fingers crossed that I didn't "blow it" for difficult child!!!
