[QUOTE="DDD, post: 440440, member: 35"] That's what I'm thinking, Janet. He likely would not get any retroactive payment but he would have help with living expenses. I know this sounds strange but part of me is relieved. Yeah, that's what I typed, lol. I just know in the depth of my heart that GFGmom would manage to get her hands on his bulk back funds. He is immature for his age. His Mom is...well, his Mom. Since he left our house three years ago her influence has increased and part of him parrots her philosophy that "Mama is a control freak and you are an adult." Yeah, right. Well in truth I am a bit of a control freak because I consistently want the moral rules followed and believe in structured living. He does not have the independent capability (or executive functioning ability) to keep a schedule, plan in advance, or handle his own money. GFGmom always has bill collectors after her, often loses her cable service etc. because at 50 she lives from impulsive moment to the next. Example??? Last week difficult child showed me his new cell phone. "Wow, where'd you get the new phone?" "Mom came into some extra money and got a new one for her and for me." easy child/difficult child was present and said "Where did Mom get the extra money?" Response "Oh, our little sister's disability check came in." DDD PS: Using the part of the values we did instill in him, lol, he added "I don't think that's right but I like the new phone." That's why I still have some hope for him. [/QUOTE]
