[QUOTE="Suz, post: 317694, member: 29"] Nomad, I've lost count of the number of places your difficult child has been evicted from over the years. It has to be terribly discouraging for you and your husband. I agree that if the therapist wanted so say anything the might have sounded even a teensy bit like he was being chastised, it should have been in private. In the old days, Rob would have taken the ball and run with it and made our lives miserable if he'd heard anything that could have been perceived as criticism. Do you have adult Independent Living Programs where you live? If you do, I'd suggest that you take a look at what they offer. The son of a neighbor in my last home was in one and it was working so well for him. He's in his 30's, has a severe case of paranoid schizophrenia and is taking medications to stabilize him. He has an apartment and is visited weekly by his caseworker. She supervises his living situation and intercedes with his landlord if necessary, medications, issues, etc. He has lived successfully like this for many years. It has taken a huge burden off of his parents (now Mom since Dad is now deceased) and because the caseworker has a different relationship with him, her advice and guidance seem to go further than hearing the same thing from his family. Anyway, I'm sorry this same thing- eviction- has reared it's ugly head again. :( Suz [/QUOTE]
