In a nut shell-No, I got all the way through my degree program, and then my arthritis had progressed to the point I was unable to work-that and my hus being USAF, we moved every two years and I would barely get a job and have to leave. We decided, as I wanted something to do with my life, that we would adopted special needs children. My Hus hasn't bothered to see them since we split 13 years ago with a legal separation so I could keep the military medical benefits. The kids are 16-20 now-so may be an empty nester soon, or not as they are each disabled. I fought 8 years and finally got a very small amount of SSD, but the uncovered amounts will still lead me to bankruptcy. With SSD and Tricare, I pay almost nothing in medical now. I will ask my hus to pay the COBRA for the next 1-3 years at $333- a month, that will help, but end. I will ask he be responsible for any medical or insurance costs after that, but as he is in contempt of court on many issues of the separation agreement, I doubt he will comply even if ordered. He retired due to schizophrenia after 14.5 years in the USAF as a major. That's my nut shell!
