[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 300636"] I didn't know you could put the SSI money on a debit card! That is sooo interesting. This certainly would make the recipient responsible...might be a very good thing. I suppose I would be a little concerned that someone might get ahold of it and commit fraud, etc. However, with detachment comes not worrying about these things so much. In times, most difficult child "get it" and that's a GREAT THING! This stuff where the people associating with- our difficult children hurt our difficult children can be mind boggling. Honestly, once they are past 18, I think we are limited in what we can do. Certainly, past 21...all bets are off. You might say your peace...that's about it. If your adult child is in severe physical danger, I would probably do a little more. If there is illegal activity going on...same. I would probably report it to the authorities. But each one of us have the choices...including difficult children. They can be responsible. And adults, even those who have some issues over 21 MUST BE AND CAN BE RESPONSIBLE...THINK OF IT AS [B]RESPONSE ABLE.[/B] The website Suz lists on her posts is excellent, I re-read it from time to time: [URL="http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/"][COLOR=#24618e][U]http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/[/U][/COLOR][/URL][URL="http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/"][COLOR=#24618e][U]http://www.livestrong.com/article/14712-developing-detachment/[/U][/COLOR][/URL] [/QUOTE]
