[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 487357"] Hi Cookie! I don't have any experience with disability - but in reading your post, Prader-Willi sydrome came to mind (a friend's niece has it and the over eating and picking rang a bell). I looked it up and while it's probably unlikely with- your stepdau- I really think you may need to explore the root of her disbility a little further. I think Lisa's suggestion of a neurologist is a good one. I would also take her to an endocronologist as well. I think the suggestions regarding a placement in an assisted living facility are good ones. At 19, she has a long life ahead. I hate to be uncouth, but it's likely she will outlive her father and you need to have clear plans for her future. I think it would be nice to get her settled so you and your h can enjoy your marriage. Do her half siblings have any insights or suggestions? I assume they are next in line as guardians - you and your h should sort that all out now - and get everyone on the same page Welcome to PE... [/QUOTE]
