[QUOTE="Skylark Matrix, post: 65718, member: 3919"] Hi - I've changed my signature to hopefully clarify my children's ages. The one I write about here is 20. This is her 4th run away from home since she graduated from high school. During school she was a bit trying, but not as bad as now. Probably because her executive functioning is 30% behind, so at graduation she was mentally 12, now she is mentally 15 - just when trouble really starts I suppose. She is treaty status First Nations and her originating band is paying for her college. We have previously set that up in a joint two signature account for when the money starts coming in. When she is in her right mind she knows that she can't manage money and she knows I will help her. She currently is not in her right mind, and the money will not start until Sept and I don't think we can change the account at this date. I don't know what she will do for money before that. She supposedly is going to look for a job her friends say, however, this is a poor time of year to find work as all summer jobs are of course coming to an end. I will not give her money from my own pocket and neither will my husband, we are fairly "rigid" about that !!! Thanks for pointing out the silence on her part is a control issue, I hadn't thought of that and I knew upon reading it that you are correct. Other times she has run away - to Calgary, and other large cities I have nearly had a nervous breakdown and she does know that. I am going to enjoy the peace and quiet and I am going to be thankful that she is in a small urban center where there is not any real danger. [/QUOTE]
