[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 547139, member: 11791"] Sue... I don't know about how it is where you are, but here? If you're prepared to look after a severely disabled adult child, "the system" will give you either 3x 1week breaks or 1x 2weeks (your choice which) of 24/7 respite care. They figure the longer YOU can keep him, the less it costs "them", and 2 or 3 weeks a year is a small price to pay to recharge a caregiver's batteries a bit. It's nowhere near enough, but does at least give you a "vacation". [/QUOTE]
