[QUOTE="DDD, post: 335533, member: 35"] Like Janet I was hoping for better news but am not surprised. The old "hope for the best and prepare for the worst" scenario. Also, I sadly completely understand the use of booze to try to cope. None of our kids have a history of coping well with stress in a healthy way. Trying to seek employment is, in my humble opinion, not likely to happen. We are a famiy of independent people who never thought any one of us would have to be in any part of "the system" BUT I totally agree with Janet about disability. Now is the time to start the process while the multiple physicians are prepared to document the disabilities. It is a tedious process that needs to be initiated as early as possible. Disability assures food stamps and Medicaid which will help him contribute to the household and assure medical care is there. How I wish I could offer more comfort. You remain in my thoughts and prayers, my friend I'm genuinely sorry you are traveling this road. DDD PS: I strongly suggest that an appropriate indiividual therapist gets on the top of the "to do" chart. Based on experience I really doubt Rob would participate in any group therapy. With the combo of injuries, drinking and the upcoming parenthood he needs his own private counselor to help him do his best. [/QUOTE]
