[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 589058"] I'm so sorry to read of your situation. I think the post previous to mine is very good and sums up much of what I would have said. Our situation is somewhat similar. But, yours sounds even more troublesome/burdensome as your son is older, had an amputation and you are divorced. Does he have a prosthesis for his leg? Does your ex help at all/ever with the situation? Our bipolar daughter is also on SS Disability and although it was not easy, we have found an apartment for her with VERY VERY VERY minimum financial help. Does your son get food stamps? Could he live with a roommate? I would do your very best to get him an apartment. Sure, it wont be in a good neighborhood. If he can live with a roommate, you might be able to get something better. We supply our daughter with a very very limited amount of food and personal hygenic stuff. It is extremely difficult for my husband and I to be aware that she lives basically in poverty, but "it is what it is." It is way past the time for your son to figure out a way to do a little better in this world. A part time job perhaps. A roommate perhaps. Something. But, you do NOT deserve to live like you are feeling trapped. You might very well want to see a therapist yourself to help you gather the strength to give him an official move out date.
