So sorry you are going through such difficulties with your dad. He sounds angry for whatever reason and I can only imagine how you are feeling when he spews it at you like that.

Going off your meds, even for only one week will prove nothing to him hon. He will only turn around and say that you acted out worse to try to make your point. Going off them will only hurt you the most and I don't want to see that happen to you. You've already been hurt enough don't you think?

As far as finding someone to be your rep-payee....If someone else is your legal guardian (your mom or dad for instance), I believe you can petition the court for a change in guardianship. There are agencies who are public guardians and can be named as yours and also as your rep-payee too. Sometimes, it's better to have an outside source do this instead of family. There can be too much emotion and too many difficulties when it comes to money, etc. Talking with your T or a social worker should provide you with answers here hon. They may even help provide you with information on low to no cost attorney's to help you if need be.

One thing I try to do before making big decisions about important life things is to do research and ask questions. That way you are armed with information that can help you make your decisions. You will be able to look at the pros and cons too

Hang in there jbug.....Monday is almost here!
