    My children are not capable of living on their own, but we’re unable to get them diagnosed with anything that will get them the support they need to make it in the “real world.” Because of their attachment issues they are unable to trust us enough to stay home with us and let us help them. My son is also in denial about his issues and diagnoses so I know he’ll stop taking his meds and getting the therapy and support that he needs. My son will most likely end up in jail (if he’s lucky) because that is the only place that can provide the support, structure and regulation that he needs. My greatest fear is that there is something I could have done to make them better and improve their chances of being happy, healthy and productive.

    I would love for my son to still live with us, but also have some independence. I would love for him to have friends of his own, too. He does in school now, and even has a best friend. I hope he has this when he is older, too.
