[QUOTE="klmno, post: 462992, member: 3699"] I see what you're saying but you can't "raise" a grown difficult child with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) the same as a young child. He has to somehow find his own way in this world. If he had a support structure to help him with job skills or whatever could help him (I'm talking about a structured program- not a support system like family), it would be different. Does he qualify for something like that? I know some places have some kind of service to come by and assist a person who needs help with daily life or whatever and I feel sure these people are getting some financial assistance in order to be independent. If his impairments aren't serious enough to warrant that and the issues are impulse control and maturity, I really don't know that there's much you can do except stand back, offer advice when asked for it, and let them reap the rewards or consequences. If there was more we could do, my son wouldn't be where he is. [/QUOTE]
