The long and short of it is dealing with bureaucrats seems to increase our chances of getting CPS called on us, constantly wearing us down, they tried to get our daughter a tracheostomy and we had to fight against it.

I don’t trust the government to be competent at all. It’s almost like an AI following programming and sometimes incidentally it produces some good outcomes. But it doesn’t care about anything. And it’s filled with people blithely executing in whatever mandate they’ve been given.

We are looking at a privately funded charity to help us, although we could likely afford it in our own.

Government money always comes with strings attached and they act like they own my child.
