[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 347219"] In a certain way, it is good that difficult child baker acted himself. I know someone with- bipolar disorder who actually does fairly well working pt and is on disability. From time to time she does this. She does this when she feels suicidal and it keeps her safe. Does your grandson's mother the designated payee for him? When he is feeling better, perhaps you can explain to him that age 19, he has the right to live where he wants to live, etc. Perhaps he can call the disability office and find out what his rights are and see if any changes can be made. Are you able to communicate with him at all? As long as she is not taking advantage of the situation (and it sounds like there is a [B]big [/B]question there), it might be reasonable for her to ask for a small amount of money in terms of rent. (He is living there, right???) However, he should not have to share his disability check in any other way. And of course, if he isn't living with his mother, rent money shouldn't be up for discussion either. If you are open to it, you can always provide a standing offer for him to live with you or for you to help him find a place to live and assistance in looking for low cost therapy, etc. I am so sorry about these ongoing difficulties. It sounds really hard. [/QUOTE]
