[QUOTE="overwhelmed since76, post: 635521, member: 18290"] I did find an organization called arc ( I think it stands for association for retarted citizens) our county has a chapter. I did see that they have advocates. I am going to contact them tomorrow. Another problem with him is that he won't admit to any of his problems. I have been running interference for him for half my life. I'm absolutely at the end of my rope. I have tried everything...helping him, paying bills for him, having him live at home...which didn't work because every night he'd walk in the door and we could tell he was drinking...but he denied it...every evening we went through this. this caused so constant fighting. I know he is mentally retarded, but he is manipulative for sure. He absolutely will NOT help himself. And he lies to me constantly. He lies so much that I think he believes his lies. I know I'm ranting, but I am beside myself with uncertainty. I know I have always been his enabler...but I've been slowly refraining from that. Thanks for listening...if anyone is. [/QUOTE]
