Well now that 2023 is over I can vent about it. 2023 was the year that I finally fully gave up on working. I know that I always say that work is a dirty word. I had been trying for years to get on SSDI. I didn't want to quit working. I miss going to work and having my own money to handle.
Once I got the SSDI I eventually got the letter that showed how much back pay I was getting. They also approved me for SSI for a little bit. I have received a little bit of the back pay. My family thinks that I don't know how to handle my money. I can do it but they won't allow me to. I know that I didn't handle the back pay the best I could but I loaned it to someone who is near and dear to me. They are on SSDI too and they live in a house with five people. Two are on Social Security, one is trying to get SSI, and two work.
I did get rid of a credit card that I owed a lot on. It had actually been charged off and they were trying to settle it for less.
I was hoping to get my SSDI but my Dad got an account setup so that it has his name for the benefit of me. Now he gets my SSDI check and shares my money as he sees fit. He was not happy when I had to go to the dentist and we had to pay an arm and a leg. He was like I wrote them a check last time. I tried to explain to him that the check last time was for a previous visit. Then he was trying to look at the statement that they gave me to see where the numbers came from. The insurance didn't pay for everything from the last visit so I had a balance.
I know he loves me and will not do anything that's not for my benefit. I just wish he would give me some of my money. He got mad when I asked for money to pay the light bill.
