[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 632201, member: 4152"] I believe there is an excellent chance our daughter would be homeless if it 1- weren't for SS disability and 2- if it weren't for her dad being designated payee. I think at one time when she was younger, she briefly had some odd fascination with the idea of being homeless. But, as she became an adult, I would say its a little more like what MwM said a refusal to be in a shelter ...combined with a utter and compete inability to see cause and affect logic. So, she can't save he money to pay rent even if her rent payment was just days away. She might spend it on music and then run the very real risk of being homeless. Being homeless doesn't scare her all that much. The only thing that scares her, is the idea of being in a shelter. She is so fortunate that we manage her money and she has a roof over her head because of this disability money. She knows many homeless people. They don't frighten her, etc. she is comfortable around them. The entire thing is concerning because of course we wonder what would happen if and when something happens to us. We asked her older brother if he would take over and at first I thought he would throw up, but his wife convinced him to consider it. I wish she would improve or there was a place she could and would stay at that would keep her safe. It's all so sad. [/QUOTE]
