[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 711148, member: 1967"] By all means, take his dad's advice. Let the court find a placement for him. He is 41-years-old even if he is mentally disabled. You admit you are afraid of having him in your home. Tell that to the judge and stick to your guns. They do something similar here when loved ones are released from a local mental hospital. They do everything they can to get the family to take the person in even if that is not in the best interest of the person or the family. At a NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) meeting I attended, we were told that the best thing we could do is say no. That forces the social worker to find a solution besides dumping them back on the family. I am sorry this is happening to you. You having been living in an awful situation for a very long time. You deserve a peaceful retirement. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
