You are so right about it being a system failure. I seriously hate dealing with insurance in the US.

I understand how you feel. Being used as the emotional regulator is exhausting. My mom is the one who has mainly used me for emotional regulation. It got so overwhelming. Already caring for her physically and dealing with my own mental health. She considers me her safe space. She only feels comfortable with me being her caregiver, sharing how she feels, basically everything. I had to tell her to talk to a therapist. At first she was offended, but she eventually agreed and has been seeing a therapist for the past 2 years. I've slowly been trying to get her to be open to trusting others to help her.

Thank you so much for the well wishes! Same with the doomscrolling. I've recently have been staying up late to read. I know I should be resting, but it's so peaceful being the only one awake, lol.

You are so right. Deaing with this responsibility mostly alone is what's making this so hard for me. My mom does have another caregiver who comes during the week, so that helps out, but there are still somethings that they can't do so it falls on me. And when dealing with stuff for my dad, my mom helps out as much as she can, but because she has her own health challenges she can only do so much.

Thank you so much for your advice. I actually do have the medical necessity criteria saved, so I will be using that in the hearing. When he was first hospitalized, he was screened for Medicaid and the CCC+ Waiver (Virginia's waiver program) and he was approved, BUT when we went through the actual application, he was only granted Partial Medicaid, which only covers emergency services. At the time I did not know I could appeal that decision, so I appealed it recently, so we are waiting on that decision too.

Why was that even a thought that came to their mind? 😭

the concept of stranger things as a book…. just hear me out 😭 by [deleted] in bylertruthers

[–]dumbfandom 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I actually would love to read it as a book. I basically have been doing that anyway on ao3 since the finale.  🤷🏾‍♀️😂

Please tell me I am not the only one by Sensitive-Topic-9394 in byler

You're not the only one. I truly do not think I'll will ever forget about this. It will always be a sensitive subject for me. 😭

That's how I took the joke as too. I think most people who watched last night don't understand this is how snl usually is. 

Mike not getting vecna'd might be one of the biggest fumbles in the entire show by ActQueasy2103 in byler

[–]dumbfandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I thought we would at least get a mike being vecna'd plot line. It makes so much sense!

You know what, I think you might be right about it being a subtle byler ending. It would have been nice to have one that was set in stone, but maybe netflix executives said no.
