[QUOTE="Star*, post: 263837, member: 4964"] Hi Hollie, WElcome to the group. Nice to have a new face. :happy: I'm currently going through this transition with our son. He turned 18 in August, but sometimes emotionally he's about a 14-16. Currently I would have to say a very good 16. It's been a long battle for him. As far as Medicaid - if they are still in school it's my understanding that they can receive medicaid until they are 21 as a full-time student. If I'm incorrect or it varies from state to state someone will correct me. Do you have a caseworker? I don't understand if your kids have medicaid how you are being charged $600 a month for medications. Did I missunderstand? (do that occasionally) Medicaid should cover all their doctors appts and prescriptions and therapy. I think we spend a lot of time planning for the worst and hoping for the best. A lot of what helped me was hearing from other parents here that while our kids may NOT end up with the life we dream for them - to accept the life they have and find a way to let it agree with you. Detachment is a key goal for any difficult child parent. YOu can start now to check out information on colleges, and schools and group homes etc in your area - but you have a little time yet.
