[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 551192, member: 1233"] Whatever you do, do NOT believe then when they want her to come stay with you 'until something opens up'. This is only said to make you think they are getting a place for her. If she is in your home they will consider her 'placed' and they will NOT NOT NOT look for another placement. Once she comes home they are 'done' finding placements. If you won't let her come home, PLEASE do not throw your resources away on an apartment for her. That will also be considered a 'placement' and she will be YOUR responsibility and they will NOT find a place for her because after all, there are lots of people with no family to rent apartments for them - so clearly she doesn't 'need' their help. Tell the sw/cm that your therapists and docs feel it is too dangerous for her to live with you and you cannot afford to provide a place for her. If they get pushy about you paying for something, let them talk to your POA and let HIM tell them that you cannot afford it. You have done so much and sacrificed even your health and well being on the altar of your children's mental, emotional and physical needs. Many times you have put yourself in danger to help the tweedles. they are adults now and they have to figure this out for themselves with their SW's. It is not for you to figure all this out or pay for it. PERIOD. It isn't mean or wrong or hard-hearted. it is life and taking care of yourself. And it is what is right to do for kt. U [/QUOTE]
