My subject and my message... would you really help if you could... I\'ve mentioned several times that I wanted to make things better... Not I We... I can\'t do it alone... I don\'t know that long term inpatient care would have saved my daughter... I\'ll never know... It wasn\'t available... Resource coordination where I brought Cara for help is dismal... Long term inpatient care... get on the waiting list...

just one thing... I\'m not asking for money... not directly... I\'m asking for support for legislation to make help more readily available... My daughter had insurance in case you\'re interestd... but there\'s a lot of people who don\'t and I don\'t want their families suffering because they don\'t have insurance so I\'m not emphasizing that point...
I\'ve written letters and my husband has been faxing them to everyone that we can think of... but I\'m so afraid nothing is going to happen...
I\'ve had some very kind responses and I\'ve had a lot of well maybe it will work kind of hopeless apathetic comments...

Don\'t give up! I think what you are trying to do is very important. It just needs to get into the right hands. Unfortunately what you have been thru is not uncommon....our nations healthcare stinks! I dont know if its whos in office or what, but the USA is one of the richest nations in the world and should provide for our people better....maybe you can google or search...congress, mental health issues,to see whos platform is mental health and go from there.
Again just dont give up
With love

Thank You

I won\'t be giving up since this is the main reason I\'m still breathing. I really would like to give up and get out of all the pain. To be totally selfish and forget about everyone who needs me...

You go through all kinds of crazy thoughts when something like this happens... I\'m trying to keep the crazy thoughts at bay and care more about my loved ones and yours than about escaping the pain.
