[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 221003, member: 1550"] Ok, I'm going to put my Tough Hat on like I do when I post in the older child forum (I actually think you'd have better advice there as we have all raised difficult children to adulthood, whereas most here haven't). If social security will help your daughter get a job, she would get a job or get no money from me. Yeah, I'm mean. Why can't she work? We have places that will help disabled kids get jobs. I have a son on the autism spectrum and I expect him to get full employment as an adult. There are agencies to help adults with differences get jobs, and it doesn't occur to him not to work. If your daughter can get a degree, she can certainly flip burgers at McD's. As for her involvement with the boyfriend, a condition to getting help from me at all would be for her not to give him anything. He hit her? He's nice? A contradiction. He is an alcoholic so he isn't nice. Maybe if he gets clean one day, when he is far away from your daughter, he will be swell, but right now he's an alcoholic and he has hit your daughter and he is eating food with the money you send her...or with her SS check. Again, I'd put this on the grown kid forum. It is a whole different ballgame dealing with a minor child and dealing with a difficult child who is grown up in age yet won't try his/her hardest to do the best he/she can in life. Even if she has no luxuries, she should still get a job. I know times are tough now, but it's hard to believe she can't at least get a menial job. They're still hiring at Burger King out here :) [/QUOTE]
