Wow what a terrible thing to say Why shouldn't she be concerned about her money the OP is like me caring for a child whom is disabled is bloody tough enough let alone thinking about money and how you will cope when some is stopped, To the OP i hope it works out for him i really do because i know my son wont ever leave home or be able to do anything for himself ..

Thanks, there is yet another issue today and I am waiting here for the doctor to come out and see him, I wish you comfort and strength.

He might want to work, but will find it hard to find an employer who will keep him on if his attendance is erratic.

One way forward might be to sit and brainstorm together to come up with a business you can both run together. That way when he's running it he can be paid, when he's unable to (but things need doing), then you can take over from him.

I have a friend who is manic. She's studying for two degrees at the moment and works 30 hours/week in a shop where she earns loads because it's selling technology stuff and she earns lots of commissions for selling all the add ons etc. Her manic stages mean she has to strive/achieve far too much ... whereas her down moments are very dark and emo where she hates everybody and she tells me about it and I laugh at her, she likes that ... I have no empathy, so she feels safe telling me as I won't try to "fix" her issues and I won't judge her.

What a good idea and one I shall give considerable thought to, thanks for that.

With regard to the last sentence I am working on that daily, it is hard when it is your own son, I was able to be like that when I was working with socially excluded persons.
