[QUOTE="adriennetaina, post: 599745, member: 16532"] Hi Susie star, I totally hear you i am 54 yrs and have been caring for my 28 yr old stepson for the last 3 yrs he is autistic and has mental problems with the same exact problems you have with his mother negating everything we have tried to teach him. My husband feels the same way as to not letting him go home either. You see he ended up with us because there was a warrant for his arrest for menacing, stalking, and threatening to commit harm to another person. The agreement was the person would not file charges unless he was placed in a mental facility or was removed from mothers home. So don't ever feel guilty or sad, try to take time out for yourself. I too have medical problems and so does his dad and I always tell my stepson that if one of gets sick he will eventually go into a hospital to live. Its sad but true because his mother is enabling him to be irresponsible and not know about consequences. This was also told to his mother. Recently he was assigned a mentor and he works but his mother is still a huge influence to him. She has another son who is 27 and he is not autistic but a loner, has no friends no girlfriend and no job, stays home all day in pjs. So sad. Hes a grown man already so imagine what my other stepson went thru with no guidance. We do the same as you we go out and on vacations. dinners. when he visits her they stay home and watch tv all day. She does not do holidays or birthdays and there's never any financial support. Yet he adores her to no end. Bless you. [/QUOTE]
