In case I wind up actually needing to apply some years down the road (fingers crossed starting medication will help me enough),

Will the government (U.S.) take into consideration that even if you have a wealthy parent, that the wealthy parent might not be willing to help you at all?

Does the government even consider how wealthy your family is at all?

I've run into this issue a lot in my personal life over the years. My mother is rather well-off, but that doesn't mean that I am, too, just because I am her adult offspring.

She and her husband's incomes combined is over a quarter of a million dollars per year, yet all this past Winter I sat isolated without treatment in her house because she didn't want to spend the money on taking me to a psychiatrist. It has only been recently after all these months when I started to become psychotic again that she finally agreed to take me to a pdoc.

I find that a lot of people can't wrap their minds around the possibility that a wealthy parent would choose not to help their own offspring, but it does happen. But now I'm afraid it would look like I was just shooting the **** all Winter and could have received treatment but chose not to. Even my own pdoc seemed to find it weird that I have been housed for about 10 months now but am just now coming in for treatment. I didn't even try to explain it.

Will this hurt my chances of getting help in the future somehow?
