[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 565610, member: 3907"] IC, he was in a much more supportive setting. However, when he moved in with my mother in law he lost his spot. The independent living spot is all they had available, and we figured that some support was better than none at all. We're trying to put together a strategy session later this week to discuss options, if there are any. He's got full supervision at work. He has a worker twice a week at home, plus 2 weekly visits minimum from husband. Step-D stops by to check up on him all the time. He's not alone, he's just being a stinker about his medications, with the predictable result. I guess the big issue I have is that, ultimately difficult child needs to be responsible for his own life, Know what I mean?? I don't want to be fighting this same battle when difficult child is 43, I'm 64 and husband is 76. I have to wonder if part of this is jealousy over the Young Ones. Tyrannosaur's issues are becoming more prominent, Tyrantina will likely need support as well, and easy child's dyslexia and other junk need some attention too. Our lives, which were so focused on getting help for difficult child for so many years, are now more focused on getting help for his little brothers and sister. Maybe in a strange way he feels left out, now that he's no longer at the centre of the action. That said, I don't really care why. I just want him to sort himself out! (Sorry, I totally went off there for a moment. I do care, I just get so FRUSTRATED with him) [/QUOTE]
