And so I t ook in my nephew because I love him and I really do want him to be well as he can be and to live his life to the fullest, but I expected some financial or even emotional support from his mom, but NO. Not even his gramma; okay well she did contribute slightly, she took him out to eat at iHop twice. yay for me. She didn't even take him when we were at home - to give us a break. shit. I am so bitter about this situation. Now we are stuck in the middle and look like the bad guys because I have to call and say "send me or he comes back to you". This is the worst part, I know she won't send the money and I know I don't want him going back. He'll end up a prisoner in his own head and more literally, house. I don't want to see that. He is such a great kid, but we can't keep doing this. We are going for financial suicide and I can't lose my house. If we had the money that would be fine, but we just don't. I want to cry just thinking about all this. I am so stressed and I have my own mental and physical illnesses to deal with. why does life have to be cruel? or, more pointedly, why don't they care about their own kid?

my heart is heavy with the same situation. there are no easy answers. it's too bad it boils down to money when their health is at stake. they have got to do something about the cost of medical care. i too, don't know how long the finances will last. it's like shoveling ----against the tide. i by the way am the gram. added to the financial scare of all of this, is who will be there when i'm gone??

Wow. He's one lucky kid to have you! The money really is a big deal. If he were legally in your custody, would insurance kick in? Or is that just not a possibility?
