[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 551996"] I feel sooo out of the loop, because I didn't realize there was a large drug history. I'm so sorry. Our daughter is on SSI (or SSDI...I get them confused). She has enough money to get an apartment...although they are often in horrible areas. She is on food stamps...but this barely covers her food needs. So, we have helped her with that...giving her left overs. She also (when she is acting appropriately) comes over for dinner. She came over last night. This morning, she did some cleaning and we paid her for one hours worth of work. I have given her health care products, as she does not have a penny left from her check to cover that (it all goes for rent) and have paid for her to go the doctor (especially the gyno for birth control). With SSI, she gets a yearly bus pass, and that is her transportation. The money we give her is VERY VERY limited and thank goodness she has the SSI. It is lifesaver for her and for everyone. So, perhaps I would VERY TEMPORARILY pay for an apartment for her IF AND ONLY IF she didn't have the SSI. But we would not be able to afford any more than that (temporary situation) and I wouldn't particularly want to pay for more than that. IS KT receiving or is she eligible for SSI funding??? I would NOT let her back in the house, given the circumstances...and again, would either NOT pay for an apartment or only agree to pay for osmething for her very very very very x100 temporarily. Maybe she could find a friend to live with for a period of time. Other arrangements like SSI need to be put in the works. With her diagnosis and background, it is likely that she would qualify. Consider calling an attorney who specializes in this type of thing. She could still work part time while collecting SSI. Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
