[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 703219, member: 4152"] Copa...that is some extraordinary difficult situation. I understand our daughter's concern about working (and your son's). It's unfortunate that your son can't work for M. How sad that he doesn't appreciate an incredible opportunity. Our daughter is fortunate in that I think her doctor would back her up that she is very limited in the amount of hours she could even hope to work per week. So, I think if she were audited and working 10 hours a week (let's say) came up, it would not be an issue. I do agree with her that she should not work much more for a variety of reasons. 12 would be a maximum! Between her mental illness and physical problems...that would be it. I suggested she see if the local McDonald's might want someone to work on weekends only. Maybe four or five hours each Sat. and Sun. I know this could be asking a lot, but my thought was it would be worth a try. in my humble opinion, she would feel wonderful to make any monies on her own. She practically laughed at me re: the idea. She worked at another restaurant and lasted one day. My husband and other family members, to my shock, felt she couldn't work ANY job regularly. They feel she has personality issues on top of the mood swings from bipolar and some physical issues from her brain aneurysm and all together it is too much. She does have a very temporary job that she works a few days a year and loves it. Thank goodness for this! She actually has a kind heart and I can see how she would/could work on a job one or two days! LOL! Anyway, your son sounds complicated and surely it must be very taxing for you and M trying to cope with this myriad of issues. [/QUOTE]
