I love my husband with all my heart which is why I HATE my situation.
My hubby is deaf & Is on SSDI, I am in a wheelchair & going to college to better our lives so we don't have to depend on the government.
They have cut both of our medicaid because we " Make too much" & Medicare will not pay for the drugs that I need desperately!! Not to mention any sickness that comes along will totally bankrupt us - we couldn't afford to go to the Dr.
If we get a divorce I will at least get my medicaid back BUT I don't want to divorce my husband!!!
If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it.
PLEASE don't say anything horrible to me though....I'm depressed & angry enough as it is.

I think before you consider divorce (which would be on a piece of paper only) talk to some people who are advocates for those with disabilities.
If all else fails, a divorce in your case would only be a piece of paper and not at all the end of your marriage. However, it does pose legal problems such as the fact that should something happen to one of you, the other is not the "legal" spouse anymore.
Best to calm down, seek out some help and then push for your rights. You may want to contact the media, have them do a story and that could draw attention to your problem.

You are obviously a very special person. It's awful that the system is set up the way it is - that you would actually benefit from a divorce.
Never divorce - I do not, unfortunately know much about the laws and programs, but your marriage is something greater than this situation! And I admire your resolve.
I do not know your belief system but when trials are their hardest turn to God in prayer, the one who can change things - He also knows you want to honor your marriage which is acoording to his will.
My wife and I will pray for you... God does all things for his purposes when you believe and trust him, and he will do great things in his time when you trust him.
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love HIm" - Romans 8:28. The words of the Bible will bring comfort too (Psalms, Romans, Phillipians)
God Bless

If you divorce that doesn't mean you have to leave your husband. That just means that the government wont recognize it. Hey decisions aren't easy, if your husband feels like the decision is also sound maybe you should. I pray that your situation gets better no matter how you handle it.
(Hope that doesn't offend you)

What's your source of "too much" income? I'd suggest maybe lowering your income enough to get your medicaid reinstated, unitl you finish school and start working. Best of Luck!
