[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 661999, member: 1550"] Since ur son has a mood disorder, substance issues. Hep. B and is already on ssi u could probably get guardianship. Sonic has autism. If I'd just let him make his own choices he too would be homeless, broke, unemployed and maybe dead. He was born with some brain damage because his birth mom took drugs. Sound familiar? It never occurred to us not to file for guardianship. He is fine with it and is relieved we pay his bills. It all comes out of his own money...ssi and work. He is a very happy young man. I had to go to court and he came with and was agreeable so it was easy. I don't check on everything he does. We are close. He pays for his own apartment with his money, his food, cable, and cell. It may be different if an adult child doesn't want guardianship but frankly your son is already acknowledged as impaired and is living like an impaired person. He doesn't even know that he needs his hep. B drugs to live. He isn't trying to die. I think he doesn't get it. If it were me id file for guardianship. If you are waiting for a lightbulb moment that will make him capable of taking good care of himself, I don't think he can. In some cases there are bad choices made. In your sons case I strongly believe he is too disabled to live without some help. I could be wrong but I don't think so. It is not shameful to be partially disabled. Brain damage from birth mom and injury plus untreated hepatitis b and a mental illness....my opinion....He needs help even though he is an adult. Please consider. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
