[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 661832, member: 4152"] The checks are made out to my husband and our Difficult Child. I think he is called "the designated payee." Almost 100% of the money goes for rent (she doesn't live at home) and if there is anything left, it goes for necessities. Our Difficult Child would in no way be able to manage her money. We hope perhaps in a few years that will change. She even struggles with the little bit of food money she has (food stamps). One of us often goes with her to the food store to make sure her purchases make sense. I would set boundaries as you are doing. But I would also consider looking for nearby apartments that meet her budget (with the full benefit). As soon as you feel she has learned some of the skills needed to live on her own, I would encourage such a move. [/QUOTE]
