I'm afraid to mention it to anyone at the SS office. I'm scared if I am able to change it, my mom will get angry with me. She's never physically abused me, but her silent treatments kill me inside. The guy at SS office said that I'd have to do a check-up in 6 months to a year and if my mental state has improved enough to handle my own money, they'd put it in my care. I really don't understand what they mean by I'm not mentally stable to handle my money. I'm not greedy, I don't want all the fun things in the world. I just need enough to get by, that's all. Even the people who approved my SSI check think I'm crazy. *sigh* Why can't I be normal for one day?
