My mom is getting older and I feel that so that I have a place to live, I'd like to have residence live at.

I go to a program where I have a counselor, and I see a psychiatrist 2x/month and a therapist 1x/week.

I know the therapist and the counselor from program can help.

One problem I know is mom would not approve of me going into a community residence / group home, but I feel it's important to me not only to have a residence, but to help foster my independence.

What can I do? Where do I begin?

Talk to the psychiatrist or therapist? They'd probably be able to recommend how to go about getting on a wait list to get into a place, and could give you tips how to deal with your mother at the same time.

Well I finally got the courage to speak to my program counselor today about my wanting to move into a Community Residence, and it's tentative that she may submit an application for me to live in a young adult community residence (I say tentative because I'm unsure if she submitted an application).

She tells me not to worry and we will work out all the "kinks" when the arise (even mom's concerns).

I'm really glad I brought it up to her, so eventually, I will be living in a community residence.
