I am not going to jump on anyone.. Okay.. I am just going to put this out there for all posters...
When Abbie was small, they were probably approached about placing Abbie on a list for children with special needs... This is a heavily regulated, jump through massive hoops to get them on, waitlist, for long term services...In Florida, she would have had to wait 7 years to get her spot... Once you get a spot, you take it. If you don’t take it, your child/adult may never get offered that spot again...
That spot for Medicaid, covers not just their diapers and respite. It covers day programs when Abbie ages out of school. It covers vocational rehabilitation.. It covers her long term placement, based on her disability...
The individuals are not billed and you can’t just pay for services out of your pocket.
As she gets older, needs these services, they are there.. If they gave up Abbie’s spot, she would go back on lists... Lists that grow longer by the day.. What happens when she gets old enough and needs that full time care center?
We all know A&P are full of themselves. The state isn’t going to let Abbie live in a house that size, with a pool, without permanent guardians. That is if that house isn’t sold in the next 2-3 years (I am giving it that long for them to file bankruptcy).. Their life insurance policy is a joke too...
Any child/adult that has IDD/Autism can be placed on the same list Abbie has had to sit on... They can get those same services...
They could purchase things themselves but that only is less money for Abbie later down the road..
Also, we know that house is sinking them. They can try all they want, saying P is making bank with her MLM but anyone in one, or has been, knows that that isn’t the case.. If they are paying out their whole house payment, it would be over $5k a month and with all their other expenses, we know they aren’t making it.. They are probably paying a fraction and suppose refinance in a few years but that wouldn’t happen, if they can’t show they are still racking in the money...
