[QUOTE="overwhelmed since76, post: 648612, member: 18290"] Thank you AppleCori. The girlfriend is a problem...but for now she is his only means of transportation since he hss no license. She doesn't have a car so she drives his. Still waiting for the drug and alcohol evaluation to determine if he will be in inpatient rehab. What a mess. We have always had problems with him...nothing bad. ..just problems learning in school, fitting in in society, handling money. I always felt like I needed to "run interference" for him, etc. Now it's coming back to bite me in the butt. Now I enable him. His dad has always been very intolerant of him. He now completely disregards his disabilities and says he's just a drunk. I feel completely alone with no one to lean on or talk to. None of my friends can relate. I tried talking to my sister (who has an autistic) son and all she did was cry and say.....someone with his mentality doesnt belong in jail...he needs help. He will be released from jail once he is evaluated....then he will get help. (I hope). He just seems to fall through the cracks because they label him "borderline". He really does need help...but he also needs understanding. I pay his rent (and I'm retired so really can't afford to), just to keep him off the street. His dad says he cant move back home. And I say HIS GIRLFRIEND DEFINITELY IS NOT LIVING HERE. So, when I stop paying his rent he will be on the street. His girlfriend is on disability.....says she has cancer, depression, and slipped discs in her back. She is 50.....he is 39. Not sure why she is globbing on to him....unless it is because she thinks his mommy will continue to help him...which will help her. We also live in a rural area, so for him to live here without a license would be all but impossible. We do a lot of traveling with our rv. Sorry to vent folks. Just feels good to write it down even if no one even sees it. [/QUOTE]
