[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711446, member: 1550"] If she is disabled, she should apply for disability. Along with Disability you get Medicare, a casemanager who can help with housing (there is subsifized housing) and life skills, and the ability to find work thru the Dept. Of Workforce Development to supplement Disability income and other help. Is is possible her main problem is meth? Nobody should have to tolerate drug abuse in the house and bad behavior/choices by an adult. At your stage of life in my opinion it is better for you to chose your husband over continuing to try mothering adult daughter who will not cooperate. I have an autistic son who, with disability and part time jobs, lives independently in his own cute apartment (not even subsidized). We tried to foster independence in him as we cant live forever. He takes care of his oen needs and this is a 23 year old man who did not talk or potty until age five and whom we were told will never be independent, but he is. He almost never calls us for help, although he knows he can. At some point in lives we have to do what is best for us because we are just as important as our adult children and our adult children need to find ways to live without us. This is a fact...we will leave them one day. Then what? Sending you the best of luck... [/QUOTE]
