Maybe this is a rant or looking for advise. My 26 year old son is what I consider disabled. He was in a terrible accident 5 years ago and suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. He never had been out on his own, he moved out a few months ago with a "friend" of his. I take care of his meds, appointments, & anything else he needs help with. He cannot drive anymore due to the TBI. He is on disability & gets a little over a grand a month. He works with me in our warehouse part time and I have his $ direct deposited into a joint account with me. He has a debt card that his disability $ goes to each month separate from our joint account. Before is accident he had everything going for him, very beautiful GF, plenty of money, great job (he worked for me)....was doing great. Now, he does have some depression he lost his GF about a year after his accident, his friends have moved on with their lives and he just is stuck. He wants to work out in the field again (he was an electrician) but he just can't, he is very unsteady, he terrible tremors, forgets a lot. He smokes a lot of weed, which I dont have a problem with but as soon as he gets his check it's gone. He got $1200 on the 27th & had $73 left. He did pay for his half of rent & power bill, the rest was blown on who knows what. Now I have to pay for is phone, internet service, 9 different perscriptions, and whatever else he needs. It's not that I cant afford it, it's just the point if it. I have access to his account to see what he spends. I feel so bad for him, he has a couple memberships to unrepriable dating site which worries me. In the past I've seen him give $ to girls to "chat" with live. Why would he spend $50 on the tinder app? I thought that was free. I dont know what to do, he wants me to get him a debt card to his other bank account but if I do he will blow it. His "friend" doesnt help matters, he family has money & jumps from job to job. So they sit & smoke all day. I sat next to his hospital bed the entire 3 months while he was in a coma, I didn't work, my life has completely changed since this, I worry about him constantly, I'm at a loss. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2AEUmPn
