[QUOTE="DDD, post: 543723, member: 35"] I'm trying my best to avoid "stress" due to my "condition" but I swear having difficult child's brings stress even if they no longer live with you. WHINE! I worked this afternoon and came home at four to relax and, lol, avoid stress. At fifteen after four I got a call from difficult child#2's "new" Voc Rehab counselor. In a nutshell she tells me she's been unable to reach difficult child#2 (and Volunteers of America also has not heard from him) and he's in jeopardy of being "DROPPED". I spent almost an hour on the phone with young new counselor explaining....DUH!....that difficult child#2 has multiple disabilities which manifest in many ways including NOT remembering appts. etc. I explained that his mother, GFGmom, ALSO does not make notes on appts. etc. The whole conversation was polite and low key and literally I wanted to SCREAM...."haven't you read the blanking file and the diagnosis"...which of course I didn't say. I think I saved the day but I'm telling you guys that fifty years of dealing with difficult child issues is too much. I NEED my two grandsons squared away. Lord help them if they don't have an advocate. I have no idea how one is suppose to focus on "their" health when they have young adults who will not survive without support. Sorry. I know this is ANOTHER major whine. It just blows my mind that "the system" can't figure out who needs help. DDD [/QUOTE]
