[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 706150, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry. We have a child around the same age with those two diagnoses. Is he on medications? If he has repeatedly failed at jobs and is seeing a doctor regularly, you might want to try for social security disability for him. Esp. if he has any other health problem. Our daughtercould not hold down any job regularly and getting a monthly check allows her only the very basics (housing) . Even on disability you are allowed to make a tiny amount of money and work very minimally which might be all he can do. Consider checking the SS rules on-line, see if he will go to the doctor regularly and help him apply because that process can be difficult. As soon as possible, I would try to get him out of your house. For now, set boundaries, do your best to get him to the doctor and maybe only insist on part time work for now esp. But do review the disability rules /literature. if he were on disability, worked a little here and there, took his medication...he likely could get by. PS yes, save yourself. Read all you can get on detachment and setting boundaries [/QUOTE]
