[QUOTE="klmno, post: 368353, member: 3699"] They are good with children- ok the female always was great with difficult child and he was about 5yo when we got her. The male is more laid back than her and is not aggressive at all but will growl if he's disturbed (someone tries to move him) while he's taking a nap. Neither of them have had extensive time with chilren younger than 4-5yo but I think they would be ok if they are not teased and so forth. I would prefer to keep them with me if possible but the second choice is a temporary placement unless I thought it would be as long as a year before I could ever get them back. I still might be able to take them back under that situation but would work with whomever had them to be fair with all parties involved. I had to go to a class at the VA medication center last week about their system and services- they require it before seeing a dr there and I have a dr appointment there next week (TG). I learned that I will be able to see a SW there who will be able to help steer me in a direction regarding lack of home and employment services. Also, the have a homeless "shelter" for vets there where they give you a job at the center as long as you stay there, up to 2 years, and they take part of your pay and give you part. Then, after you have worked thru this program, you move out and they give you the money they took for you to use as depositis, rent the first mo, etc, in order to get you back on your feet. Also, she said usually the person was allowed to keep the job they were given at the VA if they wanted to. This sounds like a great program if I can't find a job within the next few weeks. However, I need to look into it and see what happens if the person has a minor child. In order to be in this program, you have to live there and I didn't get the impression that dependents could live there with you. Maybe I could get a job there anyway and live someplace else with difficult child. I need to check into all this next week but at least it gives me some avenue to get help and maybe even a job. \She was talking about all these vets- old and young- that are currently unemployed and facing homelessness and they really are trying to help them so they aren't on the streets but help them in a way so it's not a continuous hand-out but gets them back on their own and independent.
