This goes back to his eviction. He has mentally disassociated himself with most material things. He has nothing. Hasn't worked in about 4 years or more. Lives in a half a room with the other half filled with construction material. Does not seek employment. Does not seek help. Refuses all medication and has withdrawn from society. We have a familial relationship that is nowhere near normal. He talks well and can hold a conversation but rarely engages people. Sue and I maintain his vehicle that he rarely uses, keep the tags and insurance up and throw him a few bucks when he pet sits on our vacations. He comes over every couple of weeks to shower and do his laundry. He's basically homeless but has a place to sleep. In exchange for the 1/2 room, he maintains the yard and keeps watch over the unoccupied property. We keep his car up in the hopes he will one day go back to work. Can't work without transportation. If he's waiting for his inheritance he's got a long wait. We don't baby him. We don't provide much for him. He receives food stamps and medical through the state due to his lack of income status. He has to re-qualify annually. Can't apply for disability because he doesn't go to the doctor, take medication or follow the steps necessary to prove disability. Let's just say ...... He's got issues. After all the mental and emotional turmoil Sue and I have gone through with him, we have just come to accept it's his life. If he wants change he has to initiate it through action. He lived out of his car for almost 9 months after the eviction and he he walked off his job a year before we evicted him. .... "What a log strange trip it's been." |
