[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 467986, member: 1233"] I would look up the "rules" but NOT worry about the future. It would help provide for therapy and equipment that could be very helpful. It also is helpful if your child needs inpatient care. I would apply - you have LITTLE to lose. I would call and ask, with-o leaving your name, if his father must know and/or sign off. If that is the case I would start the paperwork but NOT do anything until you can make some progress getting xsatan out of his life. I am wondering if knowing difficult child has an income would make ex more likely to insist on more contact so that he can get the $$. Being on disability does NOT mean you cannot go to college or get a job. It WILL mean that you lose the disability if you earn more than a certain amount of money, so if difficult child studied and became a scientist, then he would not NEED the disability. SSI might mean he qualified for different financial aid but I do not know how that would work. It cannot hurt to get the paperwork done. There are a LOT of lawyers who help people get disability. Many of them give a free consultation. It cannot hurt to make an appointment with a couple of attys who do the free consult and ask how this would affect difficult child's future, how much ex would be involved/know, and if maybe the documents used to prove PTSD could then be fled iwth the judge who deals with custody as part of the reason that x should not see difficult child. Esp if a couple of docs state that the main reason for the ptsd/anxiety is because the behavior of ex. [/QUOTE]
