    Even though I've never met you, I know that you are, no doubt, one of the strongest women in the world. You have handled this whole experience with such faith and grace. I just don't think I could have handled it so well. I have followed Ashton's story from the beginning. He was an amazing little boy and touched so many lives. You were very lucky to have had him in your life.

     

    May God bless and keep you and your family in this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you.

  2. I am dealing with workers comp... things are different when your going through workers comp. The denied a chiropractor and basically told me I couldn't get one on my own so I am kinda stuck

     

    I have been a WC adjuster for 15 years. If your authorized treating physician refers you to a chiropractor, WC will most likely pay. You can go on your own, but WC will not pay for it. If a Claimant is legitimately injured and gets better, we don't care if he/she pays for it on his own. If you wanted to go on your own and pay for it, why even tell your adjuster?

     

  3. They need to treat her as the dangerous person. She just might land some poor guy in jail for life and she needs to go to jail for a long time.

     

    People like this make real victims look questionable...

     

    You don't play around with accusations like that. It's just plain wrong. Seems to me that she might need some psychological help.

     

  4. This isn't exactly the same, but my best friend's step-daughter is in Italy working as a nanny. She's been there since January and absolutely loves it. It was a six-month deal so she'll be home soon. She's learned a lot!!

  5. This is a tough situation. I know someone who has two small children and is a daily meth user. You'd never know it by looking at this person. The children are not neglected. Their mother loves them very much and know she has a problem. She has no insurance, so she has no options for rehab. She has tried to get off the meth, but has not been able to. She does alright at first, just very sleepy, and then she gets mean and irritable. She wants to go to in-patient rehab, but there's no where that will take her for free. She's never abused the kids. Sometimes she yells at them, but not often. They both adore and have no idea what is going on. It is amazing to me that she is able to maintain herself and the kids at all.

     

    This is a friend of my daughter's, and I've known her for years. I wish I could help her. I have debated several times on calling DFCS, but there is no one who can take the kids and we don't want to see them go into a foster home. One of the children is a real mama's boy and has never been away from her. I've tried to keep him before, and it's impossible. He screams and cries and is the most pitiful little thing I've ever seen when she's not around.

     

    Anyone have any suggestions for this one?

     

    As far as the initial post, is the child abused or neglected? If so, I'd get DFCS involved. If the lady I know was abusing her kids, I'd call them so fast!! The sad thing about meth is when someone really wants help, and they have no money/insurance, there is no help for them.

     

     

  6. $25 a month would be hard right now. Our property taxes went up last year and that caused our house payment to go up. I'm really worried about property taxes going up again. I get a mileage check each month, but it varies in amount. I save it up to use for myself if there's something I want to buy. I really want new furniture but can't afford it right now.

     

    Seems like EVERYTHING is going up but salaries.

  7. I heard all of this!! Very exciting!!! This guy was determined to get away! He was 10-99 out of Rome. They threw out stop sticks, and he went off the road into the woods to get around them!! He finally ran over some more stop sticks and just kep on going. Finally ended up turning down a dead-end road and hit a tree. They got him and his buddy. He was tazed but refused medical treatment.

     

     

  8. I severely pulled the ligaments in my right ankle just before Halloween. The pain was horrible, and I could bearly walk. I went to the orthopedic doctor, and he put me in an air cast. I had to wear it until January. It took that long for the ligaments to heal!! Sometimes it still bothers me but not as bad as it did.

     

    Go see a good ortho ASAP. Good luck!!

  9. I voted yes because I've seen a TV show about this. The mothers are kept away from the main population, and the setting is very good for where it's at.

     

    I very strongly believe that a baby can make a drastic change in a mother's life. My oldest daughter never had any ambition whatsoever. She was sexually abused by her step-father and, basically, just didn't give a flip about too much. She went from one job to another. Yes, she even had a couple of minor scrapes with the law, too. I always wondered if she'd ever get it together.

     

    Then she got pregnant. I was very concerned about the baby because of the way my daughter was. No amibition, thinking about no one but herself. Well---from the moment she found out she was pregnant, she became a whole new person. Paris was born in September, and my daughter is the best mother that little girl could ever hope for. My daughter is back in school studying to be a medical assistant. She works on weekends and devotes all her spare time to the baby. My daughter, who never liked to to anything "borning" (meaning not very exciting), now loves going to the park and the zoo and the circus and all the other things parents do with their kids. It's a miracle. She even talks about having at least one more child. Having Paris was the best thing to ever happen to my daughter.

     

    I believe every mother should be given the opportunity to bond with her baby. If that's what it takes to turn her life around, great. If not, then the baby needs to be placed with a loving family who will take care of it. I think a lot of times a baby will either make or break a woman who is not on the right path. It certainly helped my daughter.
