[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 262016"] Thanks, Flutterby, Daisylover, and Shari, I appreciate the input. I will check with NAMI and other places. I am looking at probably going to school full time so I can get my degree. Right now, I am working full time and taking 2 classes each semester, at this rate it will take forever to get my degree. With what I have taken so far, if I can go full time, I can be done in 3 years. difficult child will be about a senior in high school then. In the mean time, if I am going to school full time, it will be easier to deal with all of his appts and stuff. It all depends on the financial aid I can get. Right now, difficult child and his sister receive s.s. survivors benefits until they are 18 because their father died, if I am not working then I can receive benefits too until difficult child is 16. This will go alot further in MO than it would here. What the kids currently receive doesn't even cover our rent now, in MO, it would cover our rent as well as other stuff. Big difference. difficult child also has SSI, which would kick in and be a little more than what he gets now as well as medicaid. I have to figure out as far as my daughter.
