[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 302090, member: 1233"] It is a rare insurance policy that will keep a person who is 18 or older on insurance unless they are a full time student. Very rare. Good to double check though. I really don't think you are too detached. He has been given every single tool to cope with this and most other aspects of life. You cannot force him to use any tool. If he insists on mowing the grass of his life with manicure scissors one blade of grass at a time you cannot force him to use a lawnmower. You can provide the lawnmower (or medications or classes or docs or therapists or purple plaid problem poopers) but you cannot make him use it. Or take care of it so it will continue to run. It is probably going to require you to do the disability paperwork. Most difficult children cannot handle it. But as for school, it is galling that he cannot take the ONE class needed to graduate. Aany chance he could take an English class at a community college and have it apply to his high school degree? I know I took college classes as a senior in high school. Whatever happens needs to be what HE puts in motion - whether that be by his actions or his inactions. Talk to husband about what the boundaries are if he is to stay at home. Then takes Marg's basic rules for housemates and tweak them until they fit. [/QUOTE]
