[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 708270, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry you are hurting. I am a believer that some of our kids should only work part time. My thought is that they are unwell and that for them, PT, is like full time for a healthier person. Many of them should be able to find the inner strength to hold it together for a few days a week. And if they can't find a job like this or if they are on disability and can't keep the hours low enough ... it might be best to find a volunteer job. I know someone who paid their son $5 an hour if he got a volunteer job and he did work almost 20 hours a week for awhile. The funny thing is this led to a 30 hour a week paying job at a nearby business. (But this person is not on disability) Our daughter works periodically for that professional woman in the neighborhood and I'm learning to accept, appreciate and be grateful for this. She also babysits now and again. I would not tolerate drug use and believe limits and boundaries have been very helpful wit hour daughter. It is incredibly hard and painful. [/QUOTE]
