[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 196165, member: 9"] The others are right, you can't get Disability for yourself because of your daughter. You can try to get it for her but it will probably be difficult since by your signature it looks like she doesn't have a concrete diagnosis. As far as getting it for your daughter, it may or may not be a good idea. If she gets it she is certified as disabled as far as the gvmt goes. She will not be able to go into any kind of military service and can cause other problems when she is older. I am a single mom. I managed to work full time and support us both despite her being kicked out of day cares every few months until she was in 3rd grade. I have been single since she was one. It wasn't easy but you just have to be commited to it. I know it isn't easy but where there is a will there is a way. This board was basicly the only support system I had since my own mother also has major mental problems. If you want to start your own business just try to stay focused. The best thing for most difficult child's is a very stringent schedule. It helped my difficult child so much especially at home. If it were me, I wouldn't try for SSI for her, but that is me.
