[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 373797, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Jody, case managers have seen it all. When ours comes in (quarterly) they are looking for a way to exit the house in case of fire, food in the fridge & clean laundry. As long as you aren't hoarding you don't have a cause for worry. Use the in home services as much as you can. I've had services here since the twins were 8 years old. It's been a godsend. While there is little privacy (people coming & going) I also have a second adult to help redirect behaviors, take kt our in the community to learn skills & work with her on her daily living skills. The in home therapist is there for me as well ~ the entire team is. They want to see you succeed as a family, not tear you apart. I've always been very honest & open with our mental health case manager; we have a very positive working relationship. When wm was placed in a therapeutic foster home he was our biggest support. The last thing husband & I wanted was to have our family torn apart. Now foster mum & dad are extended family. We are a family of different addresses & we are surviving. I ramble, please forgive me. Thank you for the update. Take care of you now & keep in touch. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
