Probably TMI - but I need to talk, and I know you guys won't give me the religion 'feedback' I've gotten about my disabled son in the past from others.

99% of the time, Collin does great with things. He's basically got his toileting down - but there are nights (or mornings) where he doesn't make it, and it feels like a Mr. Hankey attack in a South Park video Game.

Now, usually, I am perfectly able to handle this on my own; but I dislocated my shoulder the other day - and it's complicated things. Fortunately, my darling daughter is still home, and helped out more than I would have asked. So all is well

But, as most things do, this got me to thinking. And I'd never say this on a forum where she could see -

What and I going to do, when she goes out into the world, to live her life?

I refuse to bog her down in a life of helping care for her little brother, or for me. But, considering the years of solitude (and the lack of finances) - I can honestly tell you that I am scared.

My mom told me to date a woman so I'd have some help; I reminded her that she had raised me to not use people. And while I am not afraid of dating, it will be for companionship, and love - not to have them help me with my man-child.

It gets complicated really quick, doesn't it.

Any thoughts? I'd appreciate hearing from you.
