[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do they each gain from this? Not pleasure. But peace of mind that their child is sheltered, fed, and maybe won’t get into more trouble.

One of my ex boyfriends experienced significant familial trauma as a teen. He unraveled in college and it has taken him more than a decade to get his life back on track. I can’t imagine how much worse things would have been if his family hadn’t supported him financially and with a place to live.[/quote]

What happens when the parents die if no job, don’t know how to hold job, no one to pay for them/look after or do parents set up trusts so can go in a support/care home?[/quote]

They usually go get a job and apartment and roommates. Maybe even move to a different city.  They finally rely on themselves.

If they need snap or section I housing or Medicaid they can go to an NGO and the SSA office and sign up.  [/quote]

Only get SS if held job at some point [/quote]

SSA gives you the aformentioned benies. SSA office on Georgia Ave Silver Spring is filled with mom's signing up their USA anchor babies for benies. [/quote]
