[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 494875, member: 1233"] I am so glad we are not dealing wth this with Wiz anymore. My parents had fits over dating with him. There was some girl from the psychiatric ward that was the reason he faked wanting to hurt himself to get back there to see her again. That was just super strange to us. We were blessed, esp Wiz, because he met a girl and eventually a group of friends who trained him on what to do and not to do. the officer who responded to the house the two times was also a huge help, odd as that sounds. Now he hangs with a set group mostly, and is navigating socially quite well. It isn't something we expected to happen though. Trinity, I had to laugh about the whole "does well when cornered like a rat in a trap". It just fits so many difficult child situations, doesn't it? I have no idea how one does succession planning for kids like ours. We feel blessed that Wiz seems likely to be able to handle his own affairs because we really have NO ONE to take over. My folks are not young, my brother is so far from fit that it isn't worth considering, and husband's only sister never wanted more than 1 child and sure as sugar would NOT have done what our kids needed. So that is it. I can think of one friend who would be WILLING to take one or more of my children, no questions asked, but she isn't in a position to do that. she knew the worst of what Wiz did and loves him anyway and that is a heck of a lot more than most of my relatives. JJJ, I admire how you help navigate the pathways of this type of thing. I don't think that any of us thought about dating issues when our kiddoes were first diagnosis'd. I sure didn't! [/QUOTE]
