So, without any financial help, we are still struggling to save up $500............

I just made some calls, hopefully we can get help from some services I recently found out about.

I had a nightmare last night and am not sure my conscience can handle waiting for my stepson to say something that will let people know he is being molested, but DCS won't listen and we are unable to afford the guardian ad litem that will investigate in their stead.

I am stuck paying for my wife's child support as she is unable to...

About $750 a month is the income aside for the foodstamps, the income comes from SSI, of that a little over $200 goes to child support, luckily my rent is but about $85 a month due to a subsidy. I walk or bike everywhere and if my wife needs to come along with me, I literally pull her along in a wagon if she is unable to walk the required distance that day. I buy in bulk and have a system where I can survive on $75 a month drinking a product called Spirutein for most of or all of my nutrition so that my family has food and that works out as I am not too fond of eating while the idea of my family not having food is simply too painful.

Donating plasma here is not an option, the head physician harassed me to talk about about a book I had brought to read on Christ mythicism and banned me for "Not being able to trust me" (Google what the bible actually claims represents what is called an anti-christ, the head physician actually quoted 1 John 2:22 after he had already made an inappropriate comment on my autism comparing me to school shooters for my autism. I've filed multiple complaints about this but CSL plasma refuses to give me the whole name of the head physician so I can file a complaint more effectively).

Getting a job would destabilize my SSI and there's no guarantee I'd be able to keep said job and so if I lose SSI and then the job my whole family will suffer and without a universal basic income program I'd have no safety net to ensure that my family is safe and provided for. The social security agency will tell you that it is safe to get a job, but the truth is that doing so places your SSI in jeopardy when the next review comes in. And there is also the additional problem of my wife having a panic attack while I would be at work.... a disaster waiting to happen.

My wife is highly autistic and the victim of severe narcissistic abuse from her mother, so this custody battle is a frequent trigger for her panic attacks and the breakdowns of her executive functions, I can definitely vouch for her being ten times more functional when her mother is not involved with her life, but as soon as the court system order her mother to be a part of her life, that changed instantly. Her mother has legal custody of her son Eridan do to a document signed under duress that granted my mother in law custody.

DCS is under investigation for of all things practices that contribute to and enable child endangerment, me, my wife, and my eldest sister in law will all tell you that my mother in law is a child predator, but that doesn't matter to the DCS because my mother in law also has enough money and people to manipulate into giving her money to keep the already underfunded DCS intimidated with legal threats if she doesn't get her way.

There will be no christmas this year, it can't be afforded and we missed all of the program sign up deadlines due to my wife having a panic attack and executive function breakdown every time I needed her help to meet one of said deadlines, and so I had to stay home with her each time as we only recently got the big pull along wagon we now use.

Wow, that is rough, so sorry you are going through this. If your wife can't work, does she not qualify for SSI as well? I know they system can be hard to get into, but you have to keep trying. Good luck.

@Secular_Squirrel If she was on SSI before, she should be able to get them from the Government. I've done that quite a few times, however it was Disability and not SSI.

@Secular_Squirrel I actually can relate. My youngest son has Aspergers, and has been trying for several years to get SSI. I'm kicking myself in the head at the moment because I refused to file when he was a child because I didn't want it to stereotype him. Now that he's an adult, Social Security wants him to not only jump through hoops to prove it (I still have all the paperwork from when he was a child; he's 28 now), they tell me that none of that paperwork is valid. By the way, his current therapist and physician has him diagnosed as Aspergers, severe depression, and severe PTSD.

I truly HATE the government we have now.

Wow, what is wrong with your wife that you need a pull along wagon?

@Secular_Squirrel How old is her son?

@Secular_Squirrel If she is so ill, is she able to take care of him?

@Secular_Squirrel seems that the court doesn’t agree

@Secular_Squirrel I can understand what you are saying about the court not listening, but it seems to me that you would be the person who would take care of the child as well as your wife.
