[QUOTE="Laker16, post: 728970, member: 22808"] Thanks for sharing your experience and the info on guardianship vs having a payee. Our son has lived on his own at points in the past and I don't see why he would require a guardian if he continues the treatment they started him on in the hospital. If he decides to stop treatment then you are probably right that we couldn't force compliance. Knowing him as I do, I seriously doubt that he'd want us to have that level of control over his life (real or perceived) anyway. One woman in our NAMI group did say that her son wanted her to have guardianship, so it definitely depends on each person's own situation. As far as SSI, I started the process and he signed the paper to release info to them. I'll do what parts of the process I can just for myself as it feels like it gives me something constructive I can do. Once the ball is in his court I can tell myself I did what I could to help & then be able to hopefully let it go. [/QUOTE]
