Jayne,

I do not know about health or life insurance. Well, the only thing I know is don't get term life insurance....you will lose your money after whatever time period you sign up for if, GOD forbid you don't pass away in that time period. I just became a single mother a few weeks ago and I can not seem to find a job that will pay good for my availability. If you have any suggestions please let me know,

I asked the woman giving me my weekend respite (we call it respite but I rarely leave them alone because it takes at least 2 people to handle the Mikster) if she could do it, pick Miki up from ARC take her home, spend the night, get her off in the a.m and pick her up in the p.m again, and I would be home at 9-10 pm. She said "sure". So I went on my merry way paying for the conference, hotel, meals. Now mind you I haven't been able to work full time for the 8 yrs. I've had her, so it's eat or grow the business I am now doing from my home (where noone will fire me because I need to take a day off for my kid). I figure this is why credit cards were invented. On Saturday I again reminded the respite woman that it was coming up this week. She looked at me with a dazed look and said "I thought

it was the weekend, I have another case I do from 5-9pm." She didn't show up on Sunday and Miki started to tantrum at 2:30 and kept it up until she fell asleep at 9:30.

I remember being a single mom. I only had one, but it was a different type of tough. Now luckily I am insanely happily married to the right man and we have 3 children, one of which is on the spectrum. Being single was tough, but now this is also a different kind of tough. My husband works about 80 hrs and is now going back to school full-time. Sooo needless to say I feel sort-of single, but not totally. I empathize with you single moms. Find a good friend and trade babysitting. That was the best thing for me back in the day.Rose

I've been a single mom since 2002. My husband left just 3 months after my then 2 year old was diagnosed with autism. At the time I was devasted, but honestly looking back now it was the best thing. The good news is (at least for me) was that the divorce gave me one less responsiblity, I no longer had to work at trying to save a failing, doomed marriage, hence freeing up my time to work with my child and try to help her. It gave me great "Mommy and Me" time with my daughter that I have come to cherish and I know that had I stayed married I would not have had that special time and it gave me time for myself.

My child is now 9 and I won't lie to you, it's tough, but I can tell you that you will get through this and divorce with a special needs child is not the end of the world.

Bunny's suggestions are right on. Make sure you take care of yourself during this time so that you can take care of your child. Broward's children center has excellent respite service at a minimal cost (sometimes they are free depending on family income). I took advantage of them a lot during that initial period (still do). Even if you can't hook up with friends, feel free to use respite as a quiet time for you. Use this time to hopefully get back to whatever it is that you liked to do before you had your child. I mean, let's face it we all we'rent born with a special needs kid, and once upon a time, we all had interests that had nothing to do with autism. Try to get some time for that. That will help your tranisition and give you some peace and comfort during this time.

You are not alone, hang in there and God bless.... It's not always going to be like this.

Take care,

AP

If you live anywhere near Oakland Park, you should use the pharmacy at

Albertsons. The staff is amazing. They will do all they can to assist you with

approvals for meds and dealing w/ insurance/medicaid. Have a great trip and

goood luck on growing your business.

Jayne,

I do not know about health or life insurance. Well, the only thing I know is don't get term life insurance... .you will lose your money after whatever time period you sign up for if, GOD forbid you don't pass away in that time period. I just became a single mother a few weeks ago and I can not seem to find a job that will pay good for my availability. If you have any suggestions please let me know,

At the beginning of the month I told my respite agency I needed to go out of town July 30, 31 for a business conference. I asked the woman giving me my weekend respite (we call it respite but I rarely leave them alone because it takes at least 2 people to handle the Mikster) if she could do it, pick Miki up from ARC take her home, spend the night, get her off in the a.m and pick her up in the p.m again, and I would be home at 9-10 pm. She said "sure". So I went on my merry way paying for the conference, hotel, meals. Now mind you I haven't been able to work full time for the 8 yrs. I've had her, so it's eat or grow the business I am now doing from my home (where noone will fire me because I need to take a day off for my kid). I figure this is why credit cards were invented. On Saturday I again reminded the respite woman that it was coming up this week. She looked at me with a dazed look and said "I thought

it was the weekend, I have another case I do from 5-9pm." She didn't show up on Sunday and Miki started to tantrum at 2:30 and kept it up until she fell asleep at 9:30. On Sunday I also had a huge fiasco at Walgreens re: her meds. I went to the drive-in to pick up a med and they told me to come in because there was a problem with her Medicaid (she's on the waiver). I've had this problem with Walgreens for many years, they input the wrong info into the computer and blame Medicaid. While there for an hour Miki ransacked their ice cream freezer. On Monday the respite agency told me they never looked at a calender to make note that 30+ 31 are during the week. Baffles me how everyone thought it was the week end when I said "pick her up from ARC, get her ready the next day. They couldn't offer me anyone else that would be good with Miki and I felt comfortable giving the key to my house. I was about

to cancel my trip which gave me the only hope of climbing out of the financial mess I'm in, when I called a woman that works at ARC during the school year. She graciously said she could do it. I also called the regional manager of Walgreens and after having words with him they delivered the meds to my house. I'm single and my sisters live in Jersey. Other than other parents I only have Miki's therapists. It's dificult enough having her illness to deal with, but it is even more difficult dealing with some of the people I need to use because of her illness. I so need to get away this week, I hoping the conference will give me the info to grow my business, Pray for us please, and if anyone knows anyone that needs health or life insurance, ...email me!

I know, it is very frustrating. In Massachusetts, I was constantly training people from respite- Dept of Mental Health how to care for my daughter. I was unable to bathe her and watch her as I was then in a wheelchair. She was deceptive, as she would seem to be quiet and in her own world, then if you blinked, she was standing in the kitchen sink pouring Clorox on her head.I would egt a person trained, they would stay a few months, then gone. Then the agency again would look and look, and there would be that gap in her care. Or send me people who were awful, saying my gifted teen, who was on scholarship at a prestigious high school, should quit school and care for her sister. I said thats not what we do to our teenaged girls in America. They would argue that thats what they do in their country of origin, for the family, and she is just a girl. I wanted

to scream! I did rent a house though, and that became a help since as my daughter went to college (the gifted one) her room was then something I could offer. Thats why I mentioned it, rent is so high these days, students and retuired people and just anyone - always looking for a place to just sleep! Life is tough these days. I do agree, see if you are eligible for respite from Mental Health Dept, see if child is eleigible for anything from nursing agencies. Worth a shot anyway.

Broward Children's Center offers respite on a sliding scale. I have used them for about 13 years. (social worker & department head) will come to your house to interview you & your child and try to match up the right trained person to fit your needs. The number is . They will either send someone to your house for respite or you can use their drop off which is in Pompano Bch.

Ap,

Thank you for yours and Bonnies support. It is hard but I am more confident now because I am learning new things every day to help myself as well as my son. Some people are better off friends raising a special needs child than together. I know that now. I know if I stayed married we would have killed each other.....lol.

I've been a single mom since 2002. My husband left just 3 months after my then 2 year old was diagnosed with autism. At the time I was devasted, but honestly looking back now it was the best thing. The good news is (at least for me) was that the divorce gave me one less responsiblity, I no longer had to work at trying to save a failing, doomed marriage, hence freeing up my time to work with my child and try to help her. It gave me great "Mommy and Me" time with my daughter that I have come to cherish and I know that had I stayed married I would not have had that special time and it gave me time for myself.

My child is now 9 and I won't lie to you, it's tough, but I can tell you that you will get through this and divorce with a special needs child is not the end of the world.

Bunny's suggestions are right on. Make sure you take care of yourself during this time so that you can take care of your child. Broward's children center has excellent respite service at a minimal cost (sometimes they are free depending on family income). I took advantage of them a lot during that initial period (still do). Even if you can't hook up with friends, feel free to use respite as a quiet time for you. Use this time to hopefully get back to whatever it is that you liked to do before you had your child. I mean, let's face it we all we'rent born with a special needs kid, and once upon a time, we all had interests that had nothing to do with autism. Try to get some time for that. That will help your tranisition and give you some peace and comfort during this time.

You are not alone, hang in there and God bless.... It's not always going to be like this.

Take care,

AP
