I find myself extremely confused about your expressed belief that you are entitled to all services and benefits, while others are not. (I will toss this in...I would be delighted to have your husband's yearly salary, and I'm pretty sure that there are others here who would, too. My husband's and my annual income is half what yours is and we live in an extremely expensive location. Perhaps it would help if you consider counting your blessings, if you are able to do so.)

I'm also confused about why you and your husband are inviting the additional stress of having your house leveled at this time. Calling health & human services seems to be top priority, don't you think? I'm not a medical professional, but I would like to point out that to me, it seems there are times when your connection to reality seems tenuous.

I'm also wondering if your husband understands the seriousness of the CPS investigation, and that you are in need of help with that at this time?

You complained yesterday of not getting the support that you would like to receive on this forum. If you would like continued support, I have the feeling that answering some of the questions to fill in missing pieces of your current situation would garner more support. It might be that some of us here are confused about exactly what's going on in your life at this time.

The leveling was no big deal. It actually only took about 5 hours. I stayed in the house the whole time. We've had it done before, not a big deal, just someone has to be here while they are working. It wasn't really something stressful. I did call the state department (got put on hold forever) to ask what documents they needed from me, and they told me (after ages) they couldn't tell yet, the case was under review. That was frustrating because it seems they could go down the list and ask you questions that would help you determine if you need to send in a particular document. For example, everyone needs to send in proof of residency, social security number cards scanned it, but there are documents you send in if it pertains to you such as if you are or have a veteran in the family, if you have a foster child, things like that. Some of the statements are vague though like proof of costs (childcare, housing, etc.) Well, what is the etc.? Do I send in copies of my medical bills, electric bills, utility bill? And do I really have to send my utility bill twice as they do use that as proof of residency. Things like that. And they could tell me they had certain documents of mine on file -driver's license (my husband's and mine), (SSN cards for us all). They said they will tell what other things I need to send in are after a phone interview some vague time in the future (they couldn't even give me an estimate of the interview wait like close to 6 weeks, 4 months?, etc.)
