[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 640152, member: 1233"] don't turn down the state medication insurance. It will pay your copays in most instances. Be aware that if you have a scheduled appointment, most state medicaid programs will pay mileage to and from the doctor as a routine thing. You have to contact them 3 days ahead and get an approval number, then the office staff need to sign a form, and then they pay for the mileage. It isn't a big chunk, and might not be needed,but if you put it into a savings account for Connor you would be shocked at how much you end up with after a couple of years. My husband thought it was a 'hassle' and a 'waste of time' until he realized I had over $100 in under a year just from trips to the doctors here in our town. Every little bit helps, esp if you can put it aside for college or other future expenses. It is excellent that you did not get the POA. WHY? Because difficult child could revoke that and give it to a friend at any time and you would be pretty much powerless to stop her. I saw one of my kids' classmates yanked from home to home as her mom would get various druggie friends to take the kids so their grandparents didn't have them. the grandparents wanted the kids but refused to pay for the privilege,so the mom just kept shuffling them around. The guardianship gives difficult child no ability to just take Connor away from you. She has to go to court and prove that you are not able to care for him and she is capable of it and that she is stable, not clean for a few mos , before she can just take him. This isn't easy for you, but it is best for Connor. [/QUOTE]
