[QUOTE="DDD, post: 237454, member: 35"] Over 18 is tricky. I sure don't know the answer. Access to the car was the only enforceable consequence that we had with GFGmom. on the other hand she would walk in the door hours after curfew (without calling) and just hand me the keys saying "Sorry. Guess I've lost the car again!" With little difficult child (now 18 and choosing to live with GFGmom now :frowny:) the car could never be used because he has opted not to drive yet. I am in the process of trying to get Voc/Rehab to step up to the plate. With that program he "should" get assistance with job training and independent living skills. That is a big "SHOULD" because GFGmom would rather let him do his own thing at her house so Disability checks roll in...and...because Voc/Rehab money comes from the Department of Education which has had big budget cuts. easy child/difficult child is a whole other problem. He has the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from his accident and the brain surgery. on the other hand he is perfectly capable of doing most anything that he wants to do. This week, like you, I'm thinking OMG. How many more years can we take? It's a terrible dilemma. You are not alone. DDD [/QUOTE]
