[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 661960, member: 18516"] Copa, unfortunately there are no easy answers when it comes to dealing with our D C's. You have to really search you soul and do what you can live with. Each one of us has our own stopping point, when we are just done and know there is nothing more we can do that will help. The key word here is "help". Of course there is always something we can do, we can continue to give money, bail them out of jail, buy them food, let them stay with us, pay their rent, buy them a car, buy them a bus pass, etc.............. the list is endless, but if by doing any of these things it is not helping but only enabling then it's time to stop. You have to think of yourself somewhere in the equation. You have to care of yourself first before you can take care of him. Even if you do gain guardianship over his SSI there is no guarantee that he will go to get blood work done or take his medications. I do hope you can find someone at SSI or a lawyer that can help you navigate through this, that can help answer the questions that have yet to be asked. [/QUOTE]
