I have a friend that has two disabled children, one is autistic, the other had brain damage due to seizures as a baby , shes 16 and has the mentality of a 7 or 8 year old..
She lives in Florida.. and she's unable to find any help as far as respit providers, the list is incredibly long.. she has zero outlets, her husband makes decent money but is of absolutely zero support to her..everything is put on her to deal with.. He's always after her to get a job, but with all the needs of her children between special education, and medical needs she cant be in 2 places at once, and basically she's becoming seriously depressed, and feels she has no way out because she cant leave her abusive husband because he supports them financially and she cant find any type of state funded support for her and her kids that will help her be able to function on her own.. (babysitters) so she can work etc.. Does anyone have any suggestions what she can do?? What programs may be available to her?
