[QUOTE="ksm, post: 708470, member: 12511"] ADad... By "a program" do you mean an agency? So far she hasn't qualified for any government program. There are apps for phones, that will send you messages to remind you to take medications, appointments, etc. but that really isn't an option as she has broke or lost multiple phones. Plus can't pay for monthly phone service. She is of average intelligence. I think her main problem is that she lives in the moment. She doesn't think ahead...even 10 or 12 hours ahead. Her life is what is happening now. So planning for the future is non-existent. It's hard to explain to others. Let's say, when she was working, and maybe she had $50 left to last a week. Most people would think...if I spend $5 a day for food, I will still have enough money for gas til next pay day. Nope. She will spend $45 to have a manicure with acrylic nails. Maybe, if I hadn't watched her bio mom do the same thing for almost 20 years...I wouldn't be so alarmed. Bio mom is now is jail on $250,000 bond for armed robbery. She had spent the last 30+ years couch surfing, not being able to hold a job, and basically manipulating people to survive. daughter did come to our house before 10pm and spent the night here. The first time since she moved out 10 months ago. I am going to get her up by 9am and make her start working on getting her car that has a flat tire home. Otherwise, it will set there u til it is towed away and impounded. Again. Ksm [/QUOTE]
