[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 705645, member: 20054"] Hi Iron. ...maybe a small dent... I've followed for a year noting that our sons are much alike as described in your postscript. I've wished my son had a group type living with a pastor mentor and true to my form, I've felt like I should have found that for him. But I didn't. No matter what we do or don't, they still need the autonomy of figuring it out. Even with their limited ability, we are all limited in some ways and learn to compensate appropriately by trial and error. My son has a stipend as a native american, he no longer has SSI. Even when he had disability $ and native $ and was working, it was never enough. He blew through his $ like water, partying, being taken advantage of, just general poor choices. If the rent's due in a week, do you really need pizza delivery totaling $60? Can you afford to give "a friend" gas $? Working a scam with seedy people you just met on internet? Not our boys. It is so no win---for any of us. I really respect the way you are dealing with this all, your butterfly truly has some iron in it! Prayers. [/QUOTE]
