Note to self - combining baseball and mom's health stuff kills the thread.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

Lexine, I hope your mom hears something definitive soon. The not-knowing is so frustrating.
juliana, much counselor ~ma. My hubby and I did communication classes because, surprise!, being married is different than living together. They helped a lot.

Ugh. S and I have already hit some rough spots just living together, and we're not even married yet. We've talked about getting some counseling, but her insurance won't cover couples counseling (until we're married), and we can't afford anything else.
Which is actually the source of much of the rough stuff at the moment -- we're both very poor.

I'm willing to bet there's a number of place you could get counseling for free or based on income, Sean. They may be religious organizations, but they often offer secular counseling for those kinds of things.

Hmm.... Good advice, Sail. I'll keep that in mind.

Didn't mean to make you say "ugh", Sean. There are lots of places besides private counselors that offer fine group workshops. The Kaiser one here came highly recommended, and wasn't very expensive, even for non-members.

No, it's okay, Sparky. I'm just having a bit of an ugh day.

Silence means security silence means approval
Here in Seattle there's an organization run by the Presbyterian synod here that offers counseling on a sliding scale. While many of their psychologists and counselors are Christians, they're not a "Christian" organization per se, and they're all licensed counselors and psychologists. Sliding scale will charge you a price in relation to your income.
I'm willing to guess there's a similar sliding scale counseling group where you are, run by a religious or secular non-profit. You could try calling your health department and ask if they can point you in the right direction.
