[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 742174, member: 1550"] Your Guardianship may only last until you die, but you can appoint someone to succeed you or the state will appoint a state guardian after you leave. Becoming a guardian is a legal proceding. I went through it with my autistic son and went to court. When they felt he no longer needed a guardian, and he didnt, we went back to court to get the guardianship removed. I am quite sure your son would be deemed in need of a guardian. Call an attorney. I would try this rather than sadly watching him trying to survive himself in his sad state. And you arent dying tomorrow anyway. If you can help him get stable now and on the right medications he may get much better, but that isnt going to happen if he is free to make is own decisions. Is he also schizophrenic? I am so sorry. I volunteer four days a week with younger mentally ill mostly men and have a very stabilized mood disorder myself. I see great progress with these young men! I feel your son csn get help too although our mental health system really does need an overhaul. There are still good places to get services. Dont give up. I can not tell you how much I hope you can get your son help. Its out there. But you do have to fight if your son thinks he is fine and I do feel that any time spent as his guardian could help him find those good places where there is help. Real help. I really like university mental health clinics and hospitals. Has your son seen a neuro psychiatrist? My prayers and well wishes are in my heart for your family!! [/QUOTE]
