[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 698743, member: 18958"] Feeling. What a story about the newspaper writer. It scares me though that people are reading our personal accounts for reasons other than support. Of course I knew that this was so. But there is knowing and [I]knowing. [/I] I think you did the right thing to refuse. There is too much risk. Most of all for your son, and your other two sons. That said. I am concerned too about your middle son. What I know from personal experience are two important things: homelessness in some paradoxical way can help them find their bottom; and they do survive, actually quite well. I am worried about my own son too. About his physical health. M says I am negative. I think I am just scared. About your oldest son, can you see that there are real and tangible reasons for hope. He is functioning, Feeling. He is doing normal things. It is a year, or more, and he is OK. Honestly. I do not think he could be so mobile unless he had some kind of support. Think about what you are saying: you are contemplating that he might be on SSI. For this to be so he would have had to coordinate doctors visits, and case manager visits with social security. To even contemplate this is so, requires imagining him entering public buildings and conversing, multiple times. I am not saying he did or did not do that--what I am saying is--you with your own words are contemplating he may have done this. See what I mean? This is major. This is waaaay better than he was in your house. The bottom line is waaay better than it was when he was at home. The worry now is 2nd son. But what can you do? Not a bit except try to take care of yourself and keep in touch with him, on his terms. There is no indication from what you have written that he is becoming schizophrenic. Depressed yes. Over his head yes. Schizophrenic? Possible. But just because it happened to both of your sisters, does not mean it will happen to second son. Like M says. Sometimes the worst thing does not happen.
