I need some moral support.

Sign in to disble this ad
OT usualy isnt the first place I arrive for advice or support. I usualy have real people for that, however I am in the mood where im prone to strangle real people. This day so far has been the second crappiest day I have lived. Today I am woken up at 5 AM by my nebigors 1/2 pound rat-dog thing. I then am informed by the great asshat state of Califorina that my sister, a mental health patient is being moved from a hospital already 50 miles away to one in Colorado. I already fired one attorney due to the fact that she had not deleiverd glasses to my leagly blind sister since they were prepared a month ago. in additon to that I am in the middle of two civil suits, one against the said attorney and one against the hospital. And to top that off im currently out of work and finding one has provided no results. I have a large sum of money saved in case of this event, but i cant live on it too much longer. I have bills to pay, car payments, rent, medical all that stuff. Im just feeling really down right now and I dont mean to put up a show, but a bit of nice words or some thing would be appreicated. rant over.

you have a lot of responsibilities, and it sounds like you have done your best, and are continuing to do so. as a california resident with a deep interest in health care, and a family member with extreme mental health conditions, i am glad you are fighting the good fight, but am sad that it is not going as well as you had hoped. keep it up.

at least its only the second worst day youve lived, right? im kidding; im not that cheery and optimistic, but if it seems that bad, itll only get better. connecting with people here is better than punching walls or throwing phones. its got to get out somehow, otherwise youre going to beat yourself up.

i hope tomorrow is better for you.

sending you my best thoughts, and I post only to provide one additional supportive vibe. I have a very close friend who's stepson is dealing with severe substance abuse issues as we speak (xanax addiction comes to mind). Not to beat a dead horse, so I'll beat the dog issue instead. Seems like there is nothing, and no crisis, that a neighbor's chronic barking dogs cannot make worse. ugh. Otherwise, it's already documented - you'll get support here.

Man that's a totally raw deal. Don't let up - sue 'em all. They owe you. Government owes us all.

Earplugs and a white noise machine should take care of that.

The CA budget is being balance on the backs of the poor, mentally ill and the infirm so there you go.

My wife is the LPS conservator for my brother. Nobody does anything to my brother w/o my wife's approval.

There's lots of info online. IME, you have to apply when your sister is in a mental institute and get a couple of psychiatrists to sign off on it. Ask the hospital for the form. PM me if want a lawyer's phone number that may be able to help you.

IME, Lawyer's don't usually deliver medical/optical supplies. Firing a lawyer for this usually causes more delays.

Quote:

IME, civil suits will make your poor, especially suing lawyers since they don't have to pay anyone. You might think about dropping the suits. They'll most likely drag on and on.

You might have to consider taking any job for the time being.

Continuing the lawsuits will drain your savings. You won't be able to help your sister at all if you have no resources.

Good luck.

Sorta an update, I guess. I've decided to drop the civil suit against the attorney, the hospital is a diffrent long story and i will continue the suit on that front. the attorney was supposed to deleiver the glasses as she told me she would, I need legal counsel that i can rely on. I've been in contact with my dad to pick up some of the slack, as far as finances go, seeing as my dad makes 100K+ annualy. the rest is still up in the air.

Just hang in there. Things will get better and you'll come out of this a stronger person.

Life doesn't give you more than you can handle, though it may seem that way sometimes.
