I have been at the group for 2 years now

I have been at the group home for a pretty long time. It has helped me. It has been good and bad. Overall I don’t regret going to the group home. I am thinking about leaving soon. I don’t know how, because my parents want me to stay.

Where would you go?

I am not sure…… the only place I can go is my parents house.

Will they take you back? Personally I live with my parents and prefer that to not feel lonely.

They probably won’t, because they want me to stay at the group home.

Hard to believe its been 2 years. I remember when you first got there and were expressing how much you liked it in your posts.

As far as leaving, how do you plan on doing that without parents assistance? You will need some form of income to survive. Don’t want to see you homeless. Do you get disability payments? If so, is it enough to live on? Do you plan on getting a job?

Yes, I get disability…… but it is not enough to live off of. I can’t handle a job now.

If i was single i think there would be some times i would have benefited from being in a group home. Not sure how they work here in Australia though.

I remember when you first started in the group home.

You’re doing well and seem in good spirits.

Time flies!

Do you have housing assistance for disabled people where you’re from?

Where I live, the government gives low income people financial assistance towards an apartment so they pay a certain percentage from their income but not all of it.

I think it’s important to come up with a long term solution that doesn’t involve living with your parents because they won’t be around forever. You need to find a way to live without their assistance
