[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special needs mom here.  I am confused by this post.

You say your aunt is in "denial" and will not "concede" she needs extra help. Aren't you in denial? Who do you think is in line to care for your elderly aunt's disabled son?  Which trust funds are doling out cash and social service agencies are ready to visit daily and are going to step up to bear this immense physical, financial, and psychological load?  Where are the trustworthy caretakers ready to care for her child 24/7?

I have to laugh at this post.  It's unreal.  Do you realize your aunt is probably physically wrecked and scared shitless about not being able to care for her disabled child, and has been for years?

And for the PP who says "hasn't she made plans"? Are you kidding me?  Do you think family members are falling over themselves to take on this burden?  Do you think our fabulous state and federal government is doling out social service money for the non-working disabled?  Get real.

As for you OP, since you care so much (ha ha), why aren't you HELPING OUT?

And for those of you who will inevitably post about how angry I sound.  YOU BET I'M ANGRY.[/quote]

+1.  All of you "concerned relatives" who have gone on with your busy typical lives all these years think you're helping by asking "what's the plan" make me sick.  Step up or shut up. [/quote]
