[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 530700, member: 13882"] Dear Matti, I'm so sorry for what you're going through. My brother is also mentally ill (he's 60 now), and for the past 8 years he's been in an adult home. They have people there of [B]all[/B] ages, who are mentally ill, but are not violent and they don't have a criminal record. They are usually on SSI and medicaid, they usually cannot work, and their meals and rooms, laundry services are provided. The place he lives in offers job training, they have games, entertainment, etc. It's not home, of course, but it's a safe alternative. He has a private room, and all meals are provided. We live about 30 minutes away, and he visits us once a week. This place has been a godsend, because he has sleep reversal - he's up all night and sleeps all day, he smokes about 2 packs of cigarettes a day, and all the doctors he needs are on premises. If he lived with me it would be a nightmare. I don't know where you live, but you should look into something like this for your son. [/QUOTE]
