[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 558189, member: 3419"] We are thinking that difficult child may not be able to live on his own, because of the way he has mishandled his phone and video games, clicking "yes" to every offer out there and racking up thousands of dollars in charges, which husband mostly negotiated away, and also because of difficult child's inability to "see" crud around him, such as dirty dishes and spilled juice and bar-b-que sauce in his bedroom, which attracts bugs. And of course, his other issues. We may end up getting him a studio apt and paying for part of it ... we will see how he does once he graduates from HS. But I *have* to have space, for my peace of mind. Also, husband and I are going to invest in a long term care ins. policy for one another (I have to see what happens if there is a divorce, but if one person dies, the other can use the money), and that will protect some of our money. We are trying to put as much into investments as possible, partly to plan for our future, and partly to keep it away from difficult child. He's smart enugh to figure out much more complex schemes as he gets older. easy child already has plans to move out next summer, although I don't know how she can afford it. Even though I had her deadbolt fixed, she is making noises about taking out a restraining order against difficult child. I have no idea why, because if she's in our house, his bedroom is 15 ft away and that won't help at all. And he'd never seek her out at her apt. It's just not his style. He is an opportunist and only does things right under his nose. All that is to say that we all seem to be working on escape plans in our own ways ... [/QUOTE]
