[QUOTE="savior no more, post: 682383, member: 19838"] I keep trying to find one to buy!! I wish I had started the proceedings on guardianship and disability sooner. Now that he is a convicted felon I'm not sure what is legally available to him. I told the last probation officer that I was talking to that my son would now become a ward of the state. No one seems to get what I am trying to tell them. The social isolation that I feel at times is overwhelming when it seems to me the lack of social support in dealing with this. It seems that everywhere I turned for help when he was growing up that concerned government help or social funding was such a hurdle. I was asked to not bring him to church logos because he couldn't memorize the scriptures and participate. (Didn't realize the repressed anger over that until now.) The lady that was going to help him pay for barber school with the workforce in Action program told him he had lied to her on his charges for a misdemeanor possession. What she didn't know and he didn't tell her was the night before he was to start school he went with a bunch of kids who had major drugs on them and hung out and they all got felonies. He didn't lie to her - he didn't have the charges then. No help there now - but we can keep you in jail and prison rather than try to correct your thinking and lead you down a different path. I paid huge sums of cash for alternative treatments and care when I had a good job. I was like Copa - I thought that anyone could work hard and slowly I'm wondering if that might not be the case with him. What I am proud of him, though, in all of this is that he still has a sense of hope and changing his destiny. For that, he has a heart of a lion. I would venture to say most of our kids have more resilience than we know. [/QUOTE]
