[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 678062, member: 4152"] I agree with the others. Maybe if he knows he is likely eligible for SSI, he will cooperate to a certain degree. If he goes to a doctor fairly regularly and esp. if he gets on medications for his diagnosis, this will go a long way toward getting SSI funding. Then, he will have some funds to get his own place. Unless he is obstinate, which he very well might be, I would explain SSI to him, encourage him to see a doctor regularly and order the disability paperwork and start the ball rolling on that. He can work very part time if he is able to (later) and still get disability (but he'll only be able to work very PT). Read whatever you can find on setting boundaries. Consider seeing a therapist for yourself if you find your self down...because this is very taxing. It's for the best if he move out. Don't miss a good opportunity for yourself for work advancement or otherwise. [/QUOTE]
