I\'m Angry...

Most  ya'll know I'm a disabled 55 year old male (white boy)  with a 18 years old son who has a learning Disability...So here what I've learned the last couple of days... Other  children.. who have been diasnosised with a learning disability have been awarded social security, or SSI... and get aid thru programs that were never even mentioned to Me...  since my son was Dianosised when he was four...I have no ill feeling towards minorities or women... but I am angry that being a white male... I have been denied all kinds of  help for my children and my son with the learning disability based on such things as being the natural parents of our children... or simply told no.... I know of other women, that  have gotten aid for themselves and their children just because they are in fact a female or an minority... while these people that fit in the minority of  afirmative action... they get 100  dollars a month per child while  my son and I got 10 dollars and when I ask why... it was because they can fill discrimination and welll..... I can't... get it... Makes me angry.... my son gets the kick in the ass while some one gets provided with a car to drive... yeah it's the truth... see this with my own eyes... and had a social worker for the Wisconsin human resourses tell me all the goodies (well she was talkin to my daughter, who's son was born premature and he was getting ssi for what ever reason...  long story short... this case worker never even thought twice about the fact I was sittin there  and  heard as she complained about how she had to deny people based on the fact that they were white... non minority...  sad aint it..   cause I think  we should treat everyone as equal... male or female...no mater what race... EQUAL...So now I struggle to keep the system from tossin my son out to the wolfes... and hope some how I can find him some help... to train him to earn his own living... Ticked off in Wisconsin... yepp... so how ya'll feel about this... Am I wrong to be angry... at the system of government that turns a blind eye to tax paying American Citizens...  go  ahead  tell me...  russ

Nope you are not wrong! I think it is a terrible shame.
Move here to Michigan!
Have you ever talk to a lawyer regarding this? Might be worth checking.
My heart hurts for you and your son.
BIG HUGE HUGS coming your way!
