elaine will you let me know if you got my message? I don't use the peamail option much and the last couple of times I've tried using it, I don't think it's been working.  |

elaine will you let me know if you got my message? I don't use the peamail option much and the last couple of times I've tried using it, I don't think it's been working. I got it! Thank you. I will respond this morning. I just know personally that life in these pandemic days with severe special needs kids is challenging beyond what words can express. And the isolation makes it feel like you are alone in your home, which has become a prison, rather than a sanctuary. Not to take away from someone else’s despair at their life, I know that you would give anything in the world to be able to just worry about when the theater was going to re-open, rather than when you would get the help and respite you need that won’t happen until facilities reopen that provide your child with structure away from the home. And it isn’t like you can explain and have your son actually understand the pandemic and why everything is closed and why he can’t participate in all the activities he used to. I just wanted to let you know that you aren’t alone (I’m also living that life) and I wish I could make it better. |

I got it! Thank you. I will respond this morning. No worries. My laptop was also acting up last night. It froze once and I wasn't sure if the second attempt at sending a message went through. |

Thinking of you both refugeepea and elaine. My job is supporting kids and their families with developmental disabilities and so many are having such a hard time right now. Just having school closed is SO difficult as it was needed structure and routine for the child and the only break many parents got. |

refugeepea and elaine you guys rock! I wish you both, as well as others with children that are very dependent, all the peace in the world. As we see on a daily basis, people are struggling with the changes in their routines, I can only imagine how confusing that must feel for your children.

Hugs to refugeepea and elaine and every Pea who has to handle their kids' severe special needs. My DD32 has bipolar, can't work, can barely function and has been denied disability down here (because mental illness isn't "real" enough for them). It does get to me most days. She sees me as her "mommy", as though she's 7 years old again, and I have enough on my plate........ I try to make sure she's not seriously suicidal daily, but I don't have time to help her psychologically navigate life. She has no health insurance (there's no ACA here and she doesn't qualify for Medicare/Medicaid). I found a clinic that takes patients at very low cost, so she goes to therapy there and gets her bipolar meds. Barely enough. I can't imagine all of you women dealing with so much more than that. I do have my own medical issues and intense/constant pain, and DH has his own cancer journey to still finish up. It's all-consuming. I'm left with little patience or energy to try to help DD, and it makes me feel badly. She deserves better psych help, disability and a medical plan at least, and I can't help her with any of it. Hugs to all of you. Stay strong!! |

Are you sure? I would also revisit medicare/medicaid. I would think she would qualify...I know you have a lot on your plate but there are programs that can help her |
