[QUOTE="mattsmom27, post: 54917, member: 50"] I'm sorry to hear you are falling through the cracks for services. Seems in Canada (probably the US too) that it happens often, you earn "too much" to qualify for subsidies or respite care, but not enough to pay the bills and also pay the costs for some time alone to have a break. I think most of us here understand the demands of having a difficult child, and not having a break has got to be difficult. I wish I had great advice :(. Someone mentioned getting your bro's wages garnished for child support. If he is now married, supporting a wife and 2 more children, he certainly can contribute financially! Perhaps you just really don't want the hassle of court or concerns he's suddenly decide if petitioned for support that he wants to get involved with your difficult child which could mess your difficult child up worse. I still say, even if that's the case, that you petition for support. Support does NOT mean he would get visitation. If he did file back asking for visits, if it isn't in your difficult child's interests at this time, the court will figure that out right quick. You could use the child support payments to pay for some much deserved time away from home with your husband! In the meantime, this is less than ideal, but how about you and husband "swap" time off? Not the same as having a break TOGETHER, but perhaps you'll both have a little more patience and sanity preserved with some time off, even if it is less than ideal since you couldn't go out together. Best of luck to you. It is never easy with a difficult child! (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
