21. "I am sorry, but it is either vent here or run screaming through the streets."

If you need to vent here, just go ahead and vent. On the other hand, if you run screaming through the streets, you just might get the attention you so desperately need. LOL Sorry, I don't want to make light of your problems. I've been there. I have a severely bi-polar son and it took until he was in his late 30's to get disability even though he was diagnosed when he was 15 so I know what you are going through. Don't give up. Keep talking to us. Find another attorney. If you stay at it, you will eventually win.

If your husband gets laid off, at least you can apply for assistance. Right now he makes too much for you to qualify for anything but you are still too broke to make any real changes so you must feel very stuck. You need to get some counseling and do it now. Don't wait. We will all be worrying about you.

Just keep coming here and keep us informed how you are doing and RANT ALL YOU WANT AND ALL YOU NEED.
