DueNorth (and Moose) -- have you considered contacting an advocate to see if they can help you? I found these two links:

- Michigan Protection & Advocacy Service

- Michagan - Mental Health Resources

Other people who might be in a position to help you might include your state representative, local support groups (it's especially helpful if you can find someone whose already fought this battle or a similar one) and even, local reporters who might be willing to do an interview/story.

If you've not already done so, it's helpful to document everything -- especially when you're speaking with the departments that are "supposed" to be helping you. Make note of names, what was said, what was offered or denied, etc. A spiral bound notepad next to the phone works well.

I'm really sorry to hear about how difficult your situation has become. I sincerely hope it works out, and soon!
