[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654251, member: 18958"] I worry, too, Nomad, about my son's capacity to learn from mistakes, because he makes the same ones over and over again. He too was assaulted, hit over the head, to steal the $2500 in cash he was carrying in his pocket (part of my Mother's estate) that he was carrying in his pocket (he was in a homeless shelter--can you believe how dumb.) He gets SSI and persists on either "losing" his debit card every mid month or earlier or running out of money. I see the problem as more arrogance than incapacity. He seems to act as if his intention (ie what he says...will carry the day...just because he wants it too....He does that with me, as well, believing, in fact insisting that his version of events is TRUE even if he has changed his version 5 times. He is an Emperor With No Clothes, who seems to need to believe that personal power comes from his mandates. Now as I write this I do not like my words, because it points to a so called "character disorder" in my son--which is very intractable. So, that, too, is incapacity. This whole thing is a minefield. I keep seeking some safe place (as I have not yet created it in me) and there is none. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
