[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 366979, member: 1550"] Susie, didn't mean he should live at home. There are assisted living apartments that will also find him jobs. This kid, being adopted, could be disabled and may be unable to take care of himself. Not defiant or just ODD, but unable. He doesn't seem to understand simple things, like the cost of an apartment, which my fourteen year old knows. I seriously wonder if this child has fetal alcohol spectrum. If so, he will not be able to live on his own, but he CAN live in an assisted living apartment or, if he is more disabled than even that, a group home. Sus, you wouldn't believe the garbage kids from foster care and overseas adoption come here with...lots of it before they are even born. It's really sad. I don't know this child's history, but most birthparents, unfortunately, aren't very responsible during their pregnancies and the kids do tend to be exposed to stuff most kids are not...alcohol, drugs, cigarette smoke, you name it. Plus poor prenatal care. If this young man IS disabled, he will only fail if he is tossed out, and it won't be his fault. in my opinion best to explore other living options first...at least you can say "I did what I could" if the young adult walks out. Have a great day ;) [/QUOTE]
