Re: medicaid,forgiveness and divorce

Apply for Medicaid ASAP so you can get medical help without threats of stopped insurance. Where is your child? Have you made arrangements for her/his future? If not, make your wishes known in a written will. You should also give someone you trust Power of Atty in case you become incapacitated and can not make legal/financial decisions at any time in the future. Take care of these things so that you can have some peace of mind.
