[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 679000, member: 17720"] I am so sorry, Copa. Please do not be so hard on yourself. There are no winners or losers, though it does feel like a war. I have no advice for you either, but it seems to me in looking through this thread that ultimately what you want as a parent is to know that your son has what he needs; that is, living in a safe place independently. He has this option available to him with his SSI and a subsidized apartment, but he will not follow through. Living in the carport is no different than living in your house. It is not a solution to his problem. It is not what he needs. I don't see this as vanquishing him, Copa. I see this as standing firm in your need and your expectation that he find a safe place to live independently. I see this as loving your son enough to insist that he get what he needs. [/QUOTE]
