[QUOTE="DDD, post: 129964, member: 35"] Each of us has to make those choices based on our own experiences, values, hopes, fears etc. Although I think I understand that you and your DF have significant health issues, and I am confident I understand the stress of living life with your difficult child...I, too, could not let an uneducated, unstable child go off to face the world. I just could not do that any more than I could have kept quiet about the group home or left the animals to die. You have done your best to help Dude for years and I admire that greatly. on the other hand, if you take a piece of paper and divide it into seventeen division showing what his life circumstances were for his lifetime, I think it is going to be apparent that he not only hasn't had stability he had had frightening trauma for a big part of his life. He can't shrug that off and make healthy adult decisions. There has to be a transition period that leads to an opportunity. I mentioned Job Corp before as a possibility. What about Vocational/Rehabiitation opportunities? Has he been evaluated and approved for Disability income? If so, he is eligible for V/R help. There has to be some way. I do keep you in my thoughts/prayers.DDD [/QUOTE]
