Sep. 30th, 2003 01:49 pmWell, suck.
I'm now trying to call various places to look at counciling for David. Most places charge at least $150 for the initial session, if not $250. Likewise, it's anywhere from $75 to $150 a session after that. The two places that aren't like that are Christian Family Counciling Services, who sound utterly unable to help with his particular issues based on everything I've heard of them, and Taliferro Mental Health, a state facility with a sliding payment scale and very little choice involved. I don't see that working out very well with David. It's so hard for him to talk to anyone about anything right now, much less if he feels he has no choice in who he talks to.
I am so damn sick of being without insurance, and there's no way we can afford this, even after my checks come in. He can't keep going without it, though. He just... he's already not coping well. He's not having panic attacks as such, but he's withdrawing more and more. About the only useful coping skill he's found is programming, which is a god send. A new Tri-Stat DX/BESM/SAS character generator is the project of the day. He's lost any sense of how to try and work through stuff himself, and he's refusing to talk to anyone about what he's feeling... not me, not Jen, not anyone.
If only the people who'd offered him the PT designer job hadn't flaked out and changed their minds after he did the work on one of their books, we wouldn't be going through this right now. And now they won't even answer his emails about whether or not they can pay him for the work he did (the "trial" piece for the new job). I'm really annoyed, as at least half the people at this company are old friends from FASA days. I expected more of them than this.
To sum up, suck.
