Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 SArah, I think you hit a nerve here. I think we all deal with this in one way or another. Sadly though many of us deal with it right with our own family's and friends. You can understand it from strangers who stare wondering why this normal looking child is in a stroller but to have a family member question your parenting really hits you in the gut. I am dealing with the worst-an ex who won't pay. he is court ordered to pay for 50% 0f out of pocket medical but doens't think that riboflavin, vit c, vit e, lipoic acid,tylenol, benedryl and numerous other routine lifesaving meds are considered medical needs. this is their own father. He refuses to pay for diapers for his autistic five yr. old daughter.This is a child who wasn't expected to live past two and these meds have let her make to five and still going strong-how can you put a pricetag on that? The courts are just as bad. The government here in ohio just keeps cutting and cutting benefits. Get what you can. Stand tall. You are doing it so you can give Zach the best of what he needs and the best opportunities he can have. Hopefully a long future with more money and not having parent's in the poor house because of the government programs they were bullied out of! Good for you to find and utilize the system!
