Barb.....Good morning.....as a MI RN that has worked with kids for 19 years and within the Medical system, I really feel for U and the squeeze that parental caregivers get.
Yes... u have your hands full dealing with an agency like this and caring for Ryan, being his advocate all these years and dealing with another countries regulations ( Canada ) right? You make me exhausted just reading your posts ( im 56.7 months old and holding.)
I like the idea of a nanny.....Maybe a live in nanny.....An exchange of board and room with a compensating wage .to take some of this off your shoulders. Mental and physical exhaustion does not make for a happy healthy Mom ( or son )
And I'm sorry to say if this was happening within the United States U know there are so many options for reporting "HER" kind of activites......completely clueless regarding canadian labor laws.
And U did all of this when U were 28 because of the advantage of youth..we all did things (school, 2 jobs, balancing a family etc. ) because we wanted to life a better life.
I have followed your posts......and some times " It JUST ISN'T FAIR " Ryans health was not on your radar or your plans way back when, but I'm proud of you for not giving up......and just placing him a long term facility....like so many parents do.
Sometimes when I start bucking the system ( because it suks )........the ole saying Let go and Let god comes to my mind and I know he just laughs at some of my plans my will my way........
I hope YOU find the solution that will bring U some peace and some much needed rest.
