| Finances and Mental Illness
Please forgive and ignore if this isn't an ok topic. But here's the deal....
My h and I are retired and so living on a fixed income. We've been responsible all of our lives and we're ok, the current price increases are disturbing but we're still ok, not as flush as we were but still ok.
Our 20 year old son has racked up $100,000+ in medical bills since his initial sudden onset of mental illness 3 months ago. We're fortunate in that we're insured. But there's still thousands and thousands of $$ that are not covered.
So here's the question. I've heard that some Dr.'s pass you the SSD forms along with your first prescriptions. I've also been told that EVERYTHING depends on MY keeping a positive attitude. How do we decide when to throw in the towel on protecting our son's financial history?
