[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740538, member: 23349"] I wish I’d thought of the social worker aspect while he was there. He said discharged now. He did file the paperwork to be treated as an indigent patient - they’ll write off those bills. But I don’t think he talked with a social worker about anything for after he was discharged. I normally don’t hand over cash anymore. And I don’t pay bills I didn’t incur. His credit is shot anyway, so nothing to try to protect there! Setting him up in this apartment was really a one time thing, because he seemed so ready to make a go of it if he could get stabilized. Live and learn, I guess... If he ends up back there I’ll push the social worker suggestion! And yes, I know people can and do die in the cold. Of course I know. That’s why I so wanted this room to work out. I’m facing the reality every day that two of my children are unlikely to outlive me. If they do not get off the road they are on, they’ll be lucky to get to my age. I know that, and when I write it down like that I feel like I can’t breath. Because there is nothing I can do about it, if they don’t want to chose a different road. [/QUOTE]
