[QUOTE="Fran, post: 142479, member: 3"] I understand completely. husband and I are talking about what happens in June when 6 months are done and difficult child isn't able to live independently. We can't/won't pay for more programs. husband wants him to move home, get a small job and pay rent. What life is that? It's basically warehousing him. He has no friends here and will not be plugged into any sort of community of peers. Turn him out on the streets? Won't happen. Never. Not a difficult child who has the level of disability my difficult child has. husband is not feeling very positive about difficult child. He doesn't seem to want to have much to do with him. It makes me sad to think that family is giving up on him. On the other hand, husband has gone to bat for him over and over with little to show for his efforts. I know I would have the same feelings if difficult child would be back home so unexpectedly. I keep telling myself that small steps of progress are happening so I shouldn't be too down about the pitfalls along the way. I hope your son finds a way to make a life for himself. Hang in there. I'm on the same page of the mom worry manual. [/QUOTE]
