[QUOTE="Molly60, post: 746609, member: 23592"] Thank you somewhereoutthere. You give me hope that there is help out there for us. Son has a case worker through the county/state. They are not giving me a whole lot of information as of yet. Just that they may be stepping DS down with either a therapeutic foster home or a group home before he comes to the house. My hope is that DS can be put on a waiting list for an apartment with subsidizing help and assistance. First we need to make sure DS can handle himself out in the community. He has not had a pristine record. Steals over the counter medications and then overdoses with them. So, we are talking deep drug and alcohol abuse and mental health issues as well. I don't know what we are going to do in the meantime though as we have never been able to leave him home alone before not even for a couple of hours. Just hoping that we will be able to go to work. Not sure if there are any programs available for him to attend, which he probably won't any way. sigh..... so many questions unknowns and uncertains. Scares the bejeebers out of me. We did not have a great relationship before he went into group homes and now we are all wondering how each other will be on the return. He never wanted to do anything but drugs. Did not want to participate in anything with the family or clubs or anything, I do believe that was part of his issue. He had nothing to do and never wanted to wnaything either. So, Hoping that the county/state will help us with SSi, DVR, apartment and such. Thank you once again for the reply. I helps much. [/QUOTE]
