[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 739709, member: 1550"] And this is a terrible problem in our country. We have few ways to get challenged people of all types going in the right direction unless we support them. You may want to do what I have tried with a lot of success but it is hard work. Pick one agency to call like social services You know they cant help but they will give you names of other places that may or may not be helpful. Keep calling the suggestions (it can take tiresome days) until bingo some place you call really knows a place that may help. Rinse. Repeat. Chances are you will be exhausted but good chance of success. Also think out of the box.Any churxhes visit inmates. Call and see of they will try to help. You never know. Try Salvation Army and Red cross just to see if they have ideas. Even if one place cant help C they may direct you to someone who can. I played this telephobe tag for my son with autism. My ears burned at the end of each day. I cried a lot in between. But I finally found a safe place, a nice place perfect for him and they want him. Many stay forever. I have a motto of never giving up until mission is accomplished. That is how a young mentally ill girl with zilch family love and support forced myself to look for help alone. Telephone and acting on leads. I am going to be 65. I have had a happy, fulfilling life having fought memtal illness and family abuse and dismissal. But I never gave up. I have a perfect husband, an RV ready to travel in winter, great loving kids and am truly content. If we want and work hard anything is possible. Sorry. Didnt want to go all Pollyana on you. Just wanted to enforce the truth that there is hope for everyone. It just isnt always easy. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
