[QUOTE="matti, post: 533957, member: 14634"] Hi Calamity Jane and everyone else! Thank you for your kind responses. Actually, I live in Kingston, Ontario in Canada. I have been through this already with my late brother - he had schizophrenia and drug addictions. To be honest, there's not a lot here in Canada for the mentally ill. Lots of talk, but no action. Yes, we have group homes, but they are only offered to persons who have little to no family support and who usually have mental deficiencies that accompany the illness. My son is extremely bright (registered high on the IQ scale). Because he is a only child, I know I have to do something to ensure his care after my husband and I are gone. We are currently working very hard to maximise our financial situation(difficult to do while we pay for my son's upkeep!) and we hope to leave him with money in trust to go towards his living expenses. I guess I was feeling very down the day I posted this thread, but it sure helps to know that other's are experiencing similar situations. Thank you all for your messages! [/QUOTE]
