[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 516998"] It sounds like between the transportation her father is offering her and the special transportation for $1 as back up, she has what she needs in terms of transportation to work in place. Is there any chance that she could get more hours at some point where she is currently working? Working part time while she works on her depression issues might be a worthwhile cause. It is not appropriate for her to "suck the life out of 'you'" period. You might make her going to therapy and/or family counseling (the two of you together) a condition to living in your home. No matter how depressed she might be, it is not acceptable for her to continually cause you to feel stressed and saddened by the things she says. Try to let her words go in one ear and out the other. If therapy, including some family therapy sessions, doesn't provide some improvement, perhaps it is time for her to consider moving in with her father or a close friend. Oh by the way, if she qualifies for SS disability (you might call the 1-800 number and check it out and also check with her physician), she can work PT as long as she doesn't make over a certain amount per month. I think it is $800 (perhaps slightly more). If it is impossible for her to work more than PT due to a disability, perhaps SS Disability is something to look into. With SS Disability combined with her PT job, she might have enough to get a place to live or at least share a place with a friend. [/QUOTE]
