Would you be comfortable using respite care? Part of my problem is I don't think others understand my son the way I do. Also, after so much time in institutions, I don't want him to feel he has been sent somewhere else. At this point there is no one but me (my sister is a big help) to care for him, but even if there were I'm not sure if I would be comfortable.

Unfortunately I can't seem to find anyone for respite! I have one friend that does it occasionally but because it's so rare I usually use the time to clean the house.

Bravo to your bro! Looks like he has been amazing! I know it’s disheartening & disappointing - try to focus on the good people around you ❤

He's been incredible! I'm so grateful to have him!
