@hopeful33250 Hi Teresa, I feel bad that I let all that out. I’m used to hiding things. I tried to get a social worker and reached a voice mail which told me to leave certain info and I would get a call back in THIRTY DAYS!!! I am on disability due to the fibro. I appreciate you writing to me-if you are a praying person, please do so for us!

Hi @karen00, Please don't feel bad about "letting it all out." That which we "hold-in" is more destructive to us emotionally. It may seem uncomfortable to let it out, but no doubt it is healthier.

I'm not sure if you live in an urban or rural area, but you could also see if Salvation Army could help or St. Vincent dePaul, United Way, etc. If you or your brother are involved in a church community, there might be some avenues of help or guidance there as well.

Yes, I'll certainly pray for you.

@karen00 Navigating social services can be daunting. Have you tried the county trustee? Fibromyalgia is not for wimps. Be sure to be gentle with yourself.
