Had tons of questions about my stability and outright said that my handling of paperwork (it was actually me trying to ascertain wth she was talking about that was the problem) had her seriously doubting my parenting skills, as if one has anything to do with the other... each doc I've spoken to (paperwork had to do with ROIs) has told me that's HER job, not mine, and that after speaking with her, her expectations are totally unreasonable.

My sister was close to my grandmother, so I texted her again (since I still hadn't heard from her) to check on her. She and I finally talked for maybe five minutes before she launched into an attack saying I was keeping all of our late mother's stuff from everyone and demanding a bunch of her stuff. She has not been here in about a year, and the last time she was, I asked her about 20 times if she was sure she didn't want to take anything else of mom's with her.

My daughter was awake less than 5 of the past 24 hours and was nodding off in public. Again. It's been weeks. She's failing out of school. They don't seem to care that she has a legitimate disability.

I don't know what else to say. My life is a **** pile and my heart breaks for my daughter.
I'm sorry for your loss. It's awful that everyone seems to treat you so unfairly and the problems your daughter is experiencing, especially now. At least your daughter has a loving mother who's there for her.

Isn't there anyone you can ask to help you with the paperwork and maybe sorting other things out? Maybe some organisation that helps people like us (I work for one as a volunteer and it can make all the difference).
