No, heyy, there's a difference between not taking things like an adult, and going through an extremely tough time and not being able to explain in such a way that others would understand the complexities of it. As I said, if you're confused, ASK, and I'll do my best to explain.
Yes, in November, Mike's severance ran out and refused to get a job. Our only income was my $1400 a month in child tax benefits and Zoe's disability. He turned down SEVERAL jobs because he didn't want to work for that little and didn't want to lose his EI. Worried, I applied for jobs. His EI was also schedule to come in on december 23 but we didn't see it until mid-January. I applied on December 6. They didn't call me until January 27. I had wanted the reversal and because OHIP DOES NOT cover it, I decided to take on a job, so that I could have extra money put aside and save for it. I opened up a separate account at a separate bank.
Then we fought some more and Children's Aid finally said I needed to start getting out of here, or lose the kids.
Of course, I don't want that, so I went to my consultation, which cost ME, NOT the province, $200. I wanted to put $1000 down that day but I COULDN'T because furniture and appliances and places to sleep and my kids eating, and having a car to drive to get to work are WAY more important than the reversal. I HAD that money that day and I knew what was more important.
The reversal is going to cost $5200...ALL MY MONEY, nothing coming from the government health insurance. I'm not sure where that idea came from. But I know I have to get out first, so my entire paycheques have been dedicated to THAT FIRST before the reversal.
I wasn't even aware until a few days ago that I needed to pay off some arrears before I could make it on the active list. I assumed they were add my repayments to my rent until it way paid. Had I known that, I would have paid off the arrears first.
Like I said, many times, if you're confused about the situation, ask for clarification. I've never had ANY issue with providing clarification or explaining a situation.
And until you've put yourself where I am and understand the complexity of it all, perhaps keeping the rude and judgemental opinions away is best. I don't mind the opinions, if they're said in a gentle and concerning way, but when they come across as rude, judgemental and even imply neglect or selfishness, that is completely uncalled for.
I used to trust you guys...now I really don't know.
