[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op here, money is tight. i try to take our son somewhere every chance we get to give wife a break. she has depression and anxity issues so her going anywhere alone is out of question. kids go to school all day. son was in therapy until insurance decided its not covered. and yes i know we need family counseling, but cant afford it [/quote] What kind of services does your DC get at school? They frequently run social skills groups at school. Request it, they don't need and IEP or 504 for that. The local governments in this area offer low cost parenting classes. Take one. Sometimes the school do it too. Take it. "Money is tight" is often a refrain for I am not making this a priority. You need to make it a priority and cut back on other things. Are you already brown bagging, cutting out vacations, found the least expensive insurances, tried to find therapy your insurance will cover, called the insurance company back when they stopped covering DC's therapy and tried to get it restored?, buy and eat what is on sale at the grocery store........ When family asks for birthday present ideas, tell them clothing- so you don't have to buy it yourself. Do not buy any new clothes for one year. If you are low income and money is truly tight, there are many county services for which you may qualify. Seek them out. Where do you live? What is your family's daily schedule? Weekly schedule? How much time does your wife spend alone with your child in the summer? During the school year? Do you have local family in the area? [/quote]
