I will definitely keep all of you in my prayers as you move along through this. Stressed??? You and your son??? Heck no LOL I was kind of hoping that was what had happened in the emails......be prepared for more of the same at times when things get a little tough.

I'm very glad to hear that your ex is not violent and has a gentle soul. He sounds like he's a wonderful man and he's so blessed to have you and your son in his life. I'm sure there are times when he knows this

Right now, I can't think of any other ideas at the moment. You may want to post in Caregiver's Forum as there may be some members there who have been down your road or something similar to it that can throw some thoughts your way. It sounds like you are trying to cover all the basis and be ready and that's great! Just remember, there will always be something that comes up that no one thought of ahead of time. I'm sure you will go with the flow! Oh, I did think of something.....is your ex'es SSD set up with a rep-payee and auto deposited? Don't forget to keep good records when it comes to out of pocket expenses as well, you might be able to claim them on your taxes. See? I knew I would come up with some kind of question LOL. Oh yes, I have another as well.....I don't know where you live, but if your ex is deemed unable to care for himself, your state may or may not have programs that help pay for the care of your ex. Since you are no longer married, you are not considered a family member, you are now a caretaker. Might be worth looking into as well? Just a thought

You are doing a right and good thing hon. I have tons of respect for you and your efforts. As always, PC is here for you in the good times and the hard times.....don't be afraid to post when you need to!
