[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 673969, member: 14557"] Yes, if nothing else has been gained during last few years with Ache, at least his self-awareness and ownership of his mental health situation is something totally different it was when he was 18. Sometimes he deals with it so maturely I almost forget that he actually still is very young. We have discussed with social worker about the options for Ache after he is released and there are also independent (and somewhat supported) living options available for people recovering from mental illness, but honestly we do not feel good about that option. It would feel like giving up. That placing Ache to those would somehow be admitting that Ache would not recover back to fully independent life and would be permanently disabled. Especially hubby is very strongly against Ache moving to those placements. And to me too Ache living at home, even though we do know he is disruptive and annoying to live with, feels much better choice than having him in those placements. Ache himself also assumes he will come home for a while. We do understand in rational level that Ache's mental health issues may prove chronic and disabling, and we are sure to be aware of things Ache should and shouldn't do in case that turns out to be a reality. We have talked with couple lawyers and a friend who does handle social benefits for disabled for work and today hubby had a long call with the lawyer of the player association about situations where player has to end their career for health reasons and proves to be disabled also to other types of work and I think we are quite aware of dos and don'Tourette's Syndrome of the possible situations Ache may end up to. Last thing we want is to encourage Ache to do something that would make a significant damage to his financial situation for rest of his life in case he will not recover back to full working ability. We too try to be very matter of fact and calm about this. Dramatics would not help anyone. [/QUOTE]
