I need to let it out I am a Social Worker I work with disabled adults. My client is totally disabled in a wheelchair she can't even move her head. She receives 50 hours of In Home Aide Services but due to budget cuts she can only receive 40 hours a week now. She was upset with me like I was the one who cut the services but the state cut the services then she blamed President Obama. Then her Mother and the Aunt started to cry the whole situation was terrible :disapointed: sorry I just need to vent. I feel terrible

Aww, I'm really sorry about that. Don't feel too bad... you weren't responsible.

I have a lot of respect for social workers, I couldn't do that.

I'm sorry about your day OP. These budget cuts are something else and it breaks my heart that the disabled are effected. But it'll be okay op :hug:

I mean gosh, what can one do in a situation like this. I couldn't do your job. So sad. Life can be so damn difficult.

Sorry to hear, you need to let it slide off of your back, because working as a social worker I'm sure people constantly blame you.

She got 40 hours instead of 50, let the mother/aunt take up the 10.

I work with adults with DD, but I'm in a residential setting.

This is my motto after a terrible day!!

Oh no. It does not work that way. Wish it did. They better thank their lucky stars that only 10 hours were taken away. Some states would have shut down the whole thing.

Heartbreaking. Talk about kicking the ones who are already on their knees. The disabled have quite enough to put up with in life without having things made worse by cutting the benefits that are so badly needed - and which are hardly generous.

OP, keep holding it down...your work is invaluable. I salute you!

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. I work with kids, and some days I almost want to kill them, but every once in a while a kid will do something that makes me smile. I appreciate you for your hard work. I know it is difficult, but I am glad that you still manage to care. I know so many social workers who don't give a fµck about what they are doing and just go to work.

My mom is in a similar field and she has the same issue. Her clients are getting fewer hours and she's getting paid less. It's hard right now and they keep cutting help that people need
