[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 338272, member: 2315"] 3shadows, I'm not worried about husband he is what he is. I just wish he would follow through once in a while on what we agree on ahead of time. I hate always being the "bad guy". Yes BMR= Borderline Mentally Retarded. It is a fairly recent diagnosis given after difficult child went on drugs and alchol binging. An IQ test was done as part of an intake evaluation for program and services and his previous IQ of 100 had fallen to a 79. Most of his shortcommings are in executive functioning and social skills areas. He has auditory processing difficulties also. His math and reading comprehension are very good and he has a regular HS diploma. Not sure if the drop in overall IQ is going to be a permanent thing or not as he has not bbeen re-evaluated since but it is on record at the moment. difficult child has recieved services both as a child and as an adult at the county level. He just keeps walking away from them. He was in a day program while at the last group home setting. He is going to try to get back into that day program. He says that even though the housing program wont take him back the day program said that they would. We will see. difficult child is not concidered incompetant so services are completely voluntary and he is an adult so it is his decision not mine. It is common opinion that difficult child should be able to work a job based on his high functioning mental abilities except that his other MH issues keep getting in the way. -RM [/QUOTE]
