[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 745879, member: 1550"] It is hard to become guardian (I did but my son has autism and was okay with it for afew years). It is a court case and Mom may not be appointed. Can be a state worker. Unlikely your daughter is damaged enough to even have it considered. As soon as my son didnt want a guardian, we went to court to remove me. I wasnt upset. He was doing so well. Just saying that the court system does not like to take away freedom to choose unless the person has dementia. As others have said, and if you have read other stories, you cant force a 24 year old to do anything. You can send her a list of shelters and how to get a food card and other community services but she is the one who has to apply. I dont know if you are thinking of bringing her home, but she IS 24 and needs to learn to live without you, disabled or not. As I just mentioned there are adult services to help her. My autistic son lives, works and does things himself. You do have tje option of inviting her home and supporting her. I personally dont like this method but I am not you. I am assuming that since nobody in her state is eager to help her, she has burned bridges and badly misbehaved. This is common. Sounds like she will be in jail...that could actually make you feel better....she will be off the street and fed with a cot to sleep on. My daughter is a correctional officer and she talks to the inmates to keep them company as well as watching them. Its not luxurious but the streets are worse. Nobody owes her their help, including you. But that is entirely up to you. Is she willing to go to rehab and try hard to quit using? Others will come along. Sending hugs, love and light. This is hard on us. [/QUOTE]
