Right back at you, Fren. I understand the struggle. WWG1WGA
Thank you .. great to know u ! Mind me asking what state you are in , I’m in Cali ...often thought of moving out , but some states are not conducive for disabilities
I'm in WA........but the one closest to Antarctica ;) Perth, Western Australia. I've noticed that some states in the US lack support for people with disabilities and my heart goes out to anyone in that situation because I'm guessing that the mental health services aren't there either. I'd go nuts as a single dad there. In Australia we have this thing called the NDIS [The National Disability Insurance Scheme] and "it provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay". They help with everything from therapy/therapeutic devices to in home support workers, workplace support, gardeners, whatever. They are an absolute pain the ass to deal with but once you know how the system works you can smash through the brick walls pretty quickly. It blows my mind that most countries don't have something like this but then I remember that most countries aren't as resource rich as us, we basically give money to the other states and territories as we pull it out of the ground here in WA. I really feel for you living in Cali, the politics of that state alone are such a mess :(
Thank you friend , God bless you for raising your children, many give up their children , here anyway ,as far as place their children in facilities ! I'm a single mom raised my daughter alone she's 29 yrs old ! Yes Cali is a nightmare , I was in the modeling industry so it worked geographically ! I was unable to handle the horror of that world and got out but stayed in Cali , I'm in San Diego , thank God you are in the hood part of Australia
You are stronger than you think, Fren. Crafted by hardship in the best ways. My oldest is 5 and her sister is 3 so we're only at the beginning of this journey. I am truly lucky to be where I am with my two girls and not anywhere else, I can't wait to buy our creator a few rounds at the bar when I get there ;)
