[QUOTE="totoro, post: 237655, member: 3155"] I always think about this because it freaks me out! LOL I think we should push our kids to see what they are truly capable of. I also think having supports in place is huge. I moved out from 17 on with unchecked Mental Illness and no supports. I seriously do not think this is a good idea. I can't and will not do this to K. I don't know know how I will deal with K when it comes to this time? She has a GAF from 35-55... I have no idea how it has changed in the past year. I hope it is higher. One day she seems like she could do OK in this world, the next she seems like life is going to be huge tea party with her stuffed animals and her hallucinations.. But I hold onto the "Super Hero" fantasy that I have. That all of our kids have one super hero power and we just need to help them find it. Maybe they will always need help in other areas but they may be great in one certain area. I was explaining to K the other day about who Jackson Pollock was and how he channeled his mania and depression into art. I didn't use the words mania or depression. LOL But she fully got it. So I try to hold onto this theory. Maybe she has to fall and fail maybe she will hate me, but I hope one day I can reign her back in and help her find her super power... So I guess they should have to try. We should push them until we see what they are capable of. Maybe they just can't do the laundry? But they can make awesome art with bubblegum? Or are great with rebuilding stereos. My little Brother never graduated and he has a Learning Disability (LD), but he is now a Manager of Best Buy in the Stereo Dept! He is awesome with stereos!!! Despite being seriously Mentally Ill. He is a complete mess up. Or my older Brother, huge difficult child, but he has always loved cooking, he took a cooking class at a community college when a was 16. Now because of his Grandiose personality he is running a huge restaurant. He is continually being threatened with being fired because of his drinking, though. Not perfect but hey G'sFG are just plain special. I don't know the answers and have no idea how to do this, I just hold onto all of your examples and things I hear and read. Hope that when It is my turn I can be strong. [/QUOTE]
