I have tried a couple times. I mostly just try to squeeze dollars and turn lights off.

This just isn't fair to any of us. It shouldn't be this hard to live.

It was our own fault. We drank and partied til we were 40 never saved a thing. Once we got into recovery we finally had money to buy a house. Then we refinanced to remodel because this house was a dump. It is what it is.
Thankfully our kids didn’t follow the same path. We were able to get good jobs with a good pension.

I like living in country but I can’t maintain an acre of grass. I will downsize. I would like to travel more before I get too old.

Aww I understand. That's how I feel it is going to be on my brother who lives with my parents. He isn't special needs or anything, but they have always just taken care of him, and it will be very hard on him when they are gone. My hubby and oldest brother are not going to take care of him, and he will have to grow up then. It sounds harsh, but like I said he doesn't have a reason to not be on his own.

Has he ever been tested? Its very hard for strangers to see Roberts autism . So many things stay hidden, I think that sometimes its not normal behavior then something is off/wrong. Just need to find it. And maybe sometimes their just mamas baby.

At least you were 40/ Some never figure it out.

Elijah functions pretty well for the most part but still ... like the other day I made it to the bathroom using the walker but then realized that was a really bad idea, so I called to him and asked him to bring me the wheelchair. Which he did and then galloped off to go do other things. Never occurred to him that his suffering Grandmother might like a PUSH in the wheelchair to get back down the hall to her recliner. It was all I could do to even get in it!

You want a wheelchair, here's your wheelchair, bye!

This is true.

Wonder how things will work for Robert when you pass. Will he still need a guardian or payee? Could you put him in charge of paying the bills now so he can understand what running a household wil entail?

Yes I think males esp can be oblivious to the needs of others.
