[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 237617, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Mustang, I've worried about this since the tweedles were 9 & not showing any signs of "getting it". I've been researching group homes & services after they turn 18. I've been beyond discouraged. While kt may be able to function she will continually be vulnerable to repeated abuse. It's like she attracts friends & others who are not good to her. wm, on the other hand, just isn't getting the idea that rules/laws & such are in place for peace & safety; in the home & in public. I realize that the tweedles have 3 1/2 years to absorb some very sophisticated concepts; that of self care, empathy & learning to live & survive out in the "real world" on their own. It's taken 8 long years to get to this point. kt has some very big ideas & they make me proud. When I ask her how she will accomplish her ideas/plans she doesn't have a clue. wm just fears that I will die before he can live with me again. That's his current obsession. The reality is there is no "free ride" in this world. As parents we have done all we can to help our little wonders to achieve their highest level of functionality/abilities. After that it seems anything goes. I guess I will continue to do as I have been doing. Continue the never ending therapy appts, in home services that are so very intrusive, the visits to wm because he hasn't "gotten it"; hasn't understood very basic concepts. I am doing my best to plan for the tweedles future. I continue to pray for the best & plan for the worst. As a parent there's no other choice. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
