[QUOTE="dashcat, post: 486649, member: 9175"] Welcome, Cookie. First of all, you are a very generous person. Your thoughts and your feelings about your Step-D are perfectly normal and reasonable. What matters are your actions, and it sounds like you are working very hard to help her. In my community, we have something called the County Sheltered Industries. It's a non-profit organization that employs special needs people. They do landscape work, piece work, factory work and they even volunteer. I photographed a group volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter. It was heartwarming. The individuals are given jobs according to their abilities and they are trained. The organization has grants that keep it going. Maybe your area has something like this? She might not be employable in the conventional sense, but she might be able to work in a similar organization or for Goodwill or something. It would do wonders for her self-esteem and it would give her something to do. My heart goes out to her and to you. Dash [/QUOTE]
