[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 729334, member: 15832"] Thanks BbutB. Our guy's 31. We have been paying the rent only. He never asks us for money. He relapsed three weeks ago and turned down sober living so we told him to pay his rent( which he can't afford, since he works part time) He has a big tax refund coming, which would cover 2 months rent. And of course, there is a problem with it. He entered the wrong routing number for the bank so the check will be mailed. And even though he had entered his current address, he spent the entire day in a panic thinking that they were going to send his check to his former residence and that it would be stolen ( although how it could be cashed without an ID? ) (In case you're wondering, he sent us the letter...he's telling the truth). And because he was in a panic, and he has severe ADHD, which can't be medicated because he's abused the medications in the past and they never really helped him much anyway, he forgot his therapy appointment, despite all his phone and Alexa notifications that he has set up to compensate for his executive function weaknesses. He's got so many issues that we are now thinking that he will be forever dependent. He's supposed to sign up for intensive outpatient which is five days a week. Another reason he can't pick up extra income. Although he's reluctant, despite his relapse episodes and severe social anxiety. I'm calling the social service agency Monday. Maybe they can get him a cheaper place to live. I feel very badly that he is still not independent. [/QUOTE]
