We do have a fairly good relationship, even though she has done things that I strongly disapprove of, but I accept that she has the right to live as she wishes (as long as it is legal), and despite both eldest and partner having Asperger's (as well as physical disability), they are both capable of living independently. Plus I would support them to the tune of popping in each week for a coffee, or taking them to the supermarket every other week, or stuff like that. I don;t want to completely abandon them but I also don't want to have them living with me permanently. I feel like a horrible person to even think that I want them out - but I do.aileen ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684415837832846922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-49321040593191946062018-01-15T04:51:57.593-08:002018-01-15T04:51:57.593-08:00I do think they should teach kids some basic survi...I do think they should teach kids some basic survival skills at school , finding fresh water , basic first aid etc , wild food foraging kate steeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772776996207438308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-64511964834492314292018-01-15T04:50:01.435-08:002018-01-15T04:50:01.435-08:00im not going to teach him how to kill people but i...im not going to teach him how to kill people but i think ovenready rabbit would be a good start point kate steeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772776996207438308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-2047248162531368502018-01-15T04:48:37.162-08:002018-01-15T04:48:37.162-08:00Repairing the family relationship..mmm... we had t...Repairing the family relationship..mmm... we had that claptrap when Young Baldrick had moved in from his cardboard box ...they seemed to think we should throw out our other children to make room for him as his needs were far greater. But put simply living with a thieving lying drug user wasnt on the cards , even if he couldnt be expected to handle his own problems . we were viewed as the cheaper alternative for providing his care and they also stated they would pay us to have him live with us permanently , fortunatly he didnt want to , otherwise we would have had no say in the matter because this is a council property .kate steeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772776996207438308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-50869582666440216062018-01-15T02:14:56.836-08:002018-01-15T02:14:56.836-08:00Best wishes to you and your family,hopefully all w...Best wishes to you and your family,hopefully all will work out soon,soonHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922098567405119290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6495386739892445277.post-63508582229584903342018-01-15T02:13:16.496-08:002018-01-15T02:13:16.496-08:00Kate you are one of the most courageous lady from ...Kate you are one of the most courageous lady from UK I met.

I have only been in my situation with eldest DD and her partner for 3-4 months and I find I have totally lost my equilibrium. Council have now said they will look for accommodation for them but they want to visit us all at home. When I asked why they said it was normal when re-housing people who are asked to leave the family home. I wanted to scream that this is not "the family home" - I bought this house (bungalow) for me to live in when my youngest had left home and was settled. I feel like the worst mother on earth but eldest is 38 FGS, and partner is 29 -they're not a couple of 16 year olds who I am casting out. They want to get on with their lives together, and I want to get on with mine. The council woman mentioned "trying to repair the family relationship" - well actually, I think it will be helped no end if we all have our own space instead of being on top of each other all the time. As I said, I don't quite know how you do it day in day out but I guess you feel (as I do to a certain extent) that you really don't have much (or any) choice.aileen ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09684415837832846922noreply@blogger.com
