yes, Lucas (my youngest) is the same way & when my
other son is around he is the same way. They worry
about me a lot & try to keep me from doing things. The
older one barely speaks with his dad because he is so
angry at him for how he gets with me for not doing
things. He can't stand it. Is there a way to get help
somehow around the house & have insurance pay for it?
I am not sure because this is all pretty new to me but
it sure would help. I can't afford to pay someone. But
I am not on SSI because I still don't have a complete
diagnosis (& I dont' think I would qualify anywya with
my husband's income), but I do have very good
insurance. I guess it depends on the insurance, huh?
Dumb questions I guess, sorry! :)
