[QUOTE="amelia, post: 516668, member: 14169"] Star, I did read your post about Tanzania. It was about 3 or 4 years ago when we first became aware of what was happening to people with albinism in East Africa. She threw up when she first heard about it, but she wouldn't talk to me about it at all. I consider all the time how she will get by without me. That's what prompted the original post. Her response it that she will live on the streets until she dies, because she is too stupid to take care of herself. It totally freaks me out, but she will do nothing to help herself. To live on her own she needs a full time job with benefits and to live in a place with better public transportation. These are certainly achievable goals, but she will have none of it. Any help I try to offer to go in that direction is met with resistance. She says her brain is muddled and she can't think straight and she is incapable of having a full time job. I am almost to the point of taking her to a neurologist just to prove to her she is wrong. I want to say that I really appreciate all the responses, all the reactions and suggestions. I appreciate that you guys have taken time out of your busy lives to respond to my problems. I'm glad I found this place. People in my life know what is going on with my difficult child, but they really can't understand how stressful it is and the struggle to stay whole and healthy while your grown child's issues are constantly eating at you. Thank you all for being there and lending your time and expertise to try to help. [/QUOTE]
