[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP, are you in DC? If so, find out if your kids can qualify for Katie Beckett Health Care Waiver. Big hugs, from another Mom with almost your exact same life. xxoo[/quote] Thanks but we're in NOVA. It's really frustrating when people say that having an SN child as bad as you think and there are resources out there to assist. There aren't. Those people are all about pregnancy and not about day-to-day life. The two organizations posters provided links to ( http://jillshouse.org/ and http://www.hopeinnova.org/ ) don't provide the kind of support I posted about needing. HOPE in Nova is all about 'crisis pregnancy' and Jill's House only accepts kids starting at age 6 and there's still a cost to the parents - and I also have one 'normal' child. It would be nice to be able to give her more time and to have money for her to do classes like ballet. I forgot to include the cost of relationship counseling for DH and I. Having SN kids has really put a strain on our relationship. I should just walk away from this thread.[/quote]
