So, my 13 year old told me last night they were NB. I am scared to death, not because I don’t support them, but we live in an extremely conservative area, and due to a job commitment can’t move for a while, nor do they want to move because they have friends here. It’s important to note they haven’t came out to their friends yet, and I am honestly not sure how their friends will respond when they do.

I want to be supportive, but I also want to protect their safety. What do I say or do to ensure I do this correctly? I was thinking about telling them for now, whatever they want to wear at home is ok, but to avoid publicly wearing anything until they are older or we get somewhere more progressive. Is that an awful, unsupportive thing to say?

It’s important to note, they look much older than their 13 years. They can and will be mistaken for an adult. They already have been, and that will absolutely make them a target. They also have been fairly sheltered in life, because we are in such a backwards area and they have always been more progressive than the locals. So, I am not sure they understand the full weight of how dangerous the situation can be here.

Please help me say and do the right thing to ensure they are safe.

TIA

Was anyone supposed to get a payment deposited today that didn’t have it show up? It is usually in my bank early, trying to figure out if I need to panic. When I call customer service the automated message gives me next months payment information.

Hi! I finally got approved and then a couple of months later I received a call that it was time for my review, ugh. So stressful!

That was about three weeks ago, and I immediately submitted the paperwork but I haven’t heard anything since then. Will I hear anything about a review? Will I get a notifications it’s complete or will my benefits just continue with no word? I am stressing because my pay comes at the end of the month and I am afraid something is going to mess it up after I spent literally months getting approved. TIA

Has anyone reviewed their doctors notes and found errors in them? I went to a neurologist (who was an attitude filled jerk btw, made proclamation about my health without performing an examination or test at all). So, he examined me and said I was fine, even though he didn’t test my balance or movement at all, I had to make him test my reflexes. Guess what, they were diminished which I already knew hence being ordered to a movement specialist neurologist. Who in turn didn’t actually test my movement! Ugggghh.

Anyway, I ask for the report. It states that he tested my movement and balance, when he didn’t, and that my reflexes are fine, which he said they weren’t. How do I fix this?

Also, I swear I need to start recording these doctors. What is wrong with them? They say one thing in the exam room and write down another. This isn’t just happening to me, right?
