How old is Ricky?  Where do you all love?

My son has negative behaviors and tantrums and we have had to move every year for the last three...

My son is 7.

Anyways, we are looking into it still and in the meantime, I am trying to find a waiver provider to work with Ricky in my home and for more respite.  I feel back to square one.  I love my son and never wanted him to live somewhere else, but when he keeps hurting me and trying to get us evicted, its kinda hard not to want him to get the treatment he needs, on a long term basis.  We will keep trying our best with Ricky.  He can be a really sweet boy, just gets into rages so quick and they are horrible.  His mood swings back and forth so quickly that I can't keep up with him. 

 

Ricky has an appointment with his psychiatrist tomorrow morning.  Hopefully I can get some answers as to what we can do to help Ricky.

Thanks Sharon, I am so upset. He really needed this help. I wish there was a way I could come up with the $50,000 difference and still send him there. When I first looked into this place, the guy in charge said no problem with serving Ricky and he knew the amount of RIcky's waiver. Oh well, we will just keep trying to find somebody who can help us.

A landlord/management company cannot deny you housing/evict you or deny you a lease  renewal because of your son's disabilities or symptoms of his disabilities. 

My sons tantrums and crying and yelling are horrible and a symptom of his disabilities.

Once I stopped worrying about my neighbors and fearing my landlord, I felt less  stress and my son was calmer.

When I see a neighbor and they roll their eyes at me and my son - I stare back and sometimes even flip them off! 

If teh medicaid waiver is willing to pay 91K for a residential placement - push like crazy for @ home help.  Respit, home care, play therapy.
