Are you kidding me ????

Having a child with special needs is very taxing on your emotions, finances, friendships and marriages. Right now our marriage is great and having Josh has taught us to cling to each other for dear life because, well safety in numbers . Emotionally every day brings new challenges, some days I do well and others well lets just say that chocolate is my drug of choice. LOL!! Finances well this is what I am talking about now. Financially we are struggling as well as everyone else on the planet is right now. However, there are things that Josh needs like therapy, medication and school that is not free or cheap. He has an amazing therapist that just has worked wonders with him, however now we have come to the end of our insurance benefits. You see most insurances only cover 30 visits a year for mental health conditions. We have used up all our benefits for this year. Of course there is a little law that is called the mental health parody act that came into effect as of January 1st this year but my insurance company wants to fight us on it and tell us that it is not covered until our next service year that starts in September. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I am so tired of this can't they just realize that I have a son that has a serious mental health problem and that it is already very difficult to find someone that will even treat him because he is so young. I found the perfect person to work with him but they longer cover it and I can't afford to go until September. This makes me so sad and mad at the same time. This brings me to his medications, now we have to find a doctor that will treat him and follow him on his meds. This however, can not be a psychiatric doctor because we don't have any more benefits for that. Calgon take me away!!! Alright enough with the rants and raving time to go to church. I know God has a plan in all of this.
