[QUOTE="DDD, post: 415438, member: 35"] Well, I decided not to stay detached from difficult child. I know, I know, I've spent too many years trying to protect him from GFGmom and preparing him for independent living. But...he's living with GFGmom after losing his disability and his apartment and the honeymoon should be over within a month I'd guess. So by networking around I found that Volunteers of American has apartments in our area for those with mental health issues. There are actually two complexes. One he can get into free...yep, at zero cost. The older one has efficiencies, is downtown, has a free lunch six days a week, has a meeting or rec room open til 11 pm with an adult staff member in charge. The smaller older one sounds more suitable for him and I know that he "knows" one or two of the residents. That one will cost him $270 a month. The free one is in an iffy neighborhood. There is paperwork to be done. I'm probably going to incur the wrath of GFGmom but this weekend I am going to pick up difficult child and suggest he share his account with me and not his Mom [B]and [/B]I'm going to get him to fill in the releases and apps. Wish me luck! He does not have to commit himself to moving but if they have all the paperwork on file he'll be put on a waiting list where he can decide for himself later. DDD [/QUOTE]
