I'm sitting here staring into space. I've been doing this most of the 2nd half of today, and I don't see myself doing anything else any time soon.

I got the letter advising me that they are "closing" my son's case to the agency I work for, and they "regret any inconvenience" this may have caused me and my son. So, now I have no therapy for him, and no insurance to get any anyway.

I can't believe that the very 2 agencies that are supposed to be the cornerstones in the plight to help families are the very ones that have single-handedly screwed mine. DCF, which claims to "Protect the Vulnerable, Promote Strong and Economically Self-Sufficient Families, and Advance Personal and Family Recovery and Resiliency" (which I guess means to offer assistance and then say, "Whoops, sorry. Pay it back now. Good luck.") and a company whose mission statement includes "...to provide affordable, high quality behavioral health services that promote prevention and support role recovery and resiliency for the citizens of Hillsborough County, in order to improve the quality of life..." which really means reel 'em in and kick them out... Oh, and screw the people who work here too...

I think the most shocking to me is the fact that DCF just cut off the kids insurance without a word. They had it Thursday morning, and by Friday they had closed the Medicaid account. No call, no notice, no nothing; the only way I found out was because I called the second I got the letter stating that the benefits "may" be affected. So, here I sit with 2 kids who have no health insurance and no way of getting it until my next pay period. My son has severe asthma, so if he has a health issue we're essentially screwed? Wow. That is just amazing to me.
