[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 748582, member: 4152"] Many of these kids are truly mentally ill and have no ability to handle money. I suppose it might be on a spectrum with some having the ability to learn, some having the ability but refusing to learn, some having limited ability and others having no ability. I believe our daughter might have no ability. She is very impulsive and moody. Thank goodness my husband is her designated payer. I am not kidding, she would spend her check on candy or give it away before having any notion to pay her rent first. Thank goodness she doesn’t do drugs. Because that would make a bad situation worse. Determining what she is capable of or not has always been tricky. But for us, managing money, especially for larger sums, for her, is not possible. We have major struggles with getting her to manage her food and laundry money. I find it all so sad and frustrating. I think this mom I’m speaking of has done a really remarkable thing, but like has been mentioned...much depends on the young man himself too...his ability to learn in the first place and his willingness to move forward.
