[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740652, member: 23349"] DM, this situation sounds very concerning! I hope you’re able to get the dog at least. Do you have concerns that the abuse from this man may escalate beyond verbal/emotional? A 51 year old man pursuing a potentially intellectually disabled or emotionally vulnerable 21 year old raises huge red flags. And abuse tends to escalate. (I’m sure I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know here.) Do you think your daughter will cooperate with the process of getting on SSI and enrolled with some kind of services? It sounds like she needs a case worker that can be watching out for her. Is she going back to him simply because she doesn’t think she has anywhere else to go? Are there other options you can help her think of? I know you said staying with you is not an option, and I understand there may be many reasons for that - I know I can’t have my two difficult ones with me, either. I wish I had an easy answer for you. I really hope you are able to get her on SSI and assigned to a case worker or advocate for disabled adults. She might be more cooperative with a case worker than with you - so often their emotional issues with us as parents make us the worst people to actually help. A social worker may know how to step in if there is evidence that she is being abused as a disabled adult. Is there a way to talk to a social worker in your county about the options here for getting things moving for her, with or without her compliance? [/QUOTE]
