[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633607, member: 1550"] My own opinion is that it is not good for these adult kids to live at home. They get a far more enriching experience if they don't, whether or not it is easy for you. You will not be here one day. Then what will he do? He will be like a little boy who has never lived away from his mother before and probably lose it. Of course, you have to do what you have to do, but I don't want my son to be so used to living with me that he can't handle it when he can't anymore. Plus I have seen my son grow, change and mature since he has been living elsewhere. I don't think Mental Health gets services for cognitively disabled adults. I do think you have to go to Again and Disabilities regardless of where you live. Have you tried it? Has the state or county ever tested him to see if he is competent to hold a job that can support him? If not, you haven't been to the right place. Ditto for your sister. Her daughter will not grow and evolve if she lives at home until her mother passes away. Anyhow, that is my opinion.. If MH/MR won't help you, look elsewhere. Don't quit trying. [/QUOTE]
