And they said, the laws have changed. I think it's because there was a Hollywood sort of scenario that was often played out where family members would commit their spouses because they wanted out of the marriage or something along those lines.

And so the courts and the judges and the lawyers that are involved with this and the laws were changed so that this couldn't be done, so that family commitment was a kind of a thing of the past.

It's permanently that way. And that is one of the flaws in our system, on the national level, big flaw in our system. I understand why they closed down the so-called state hospitals because they were, again, in Hollywood, often highlighted as being horrible places that were full of abuse. So there was a movement to shut them down. But then I've read the history on this.

It was actually during Kennedy's presidency where he came up with the idea of this community mental health clinic system. But then he set aside all this funding, knowing that if it wasn't well-funded, especially initially, it probably wouldn't succeed. But then the Vietnam War broke out, and all that money was taken to fight that war.

Well, he was young enough and he had been very popular in high school. So he had enough friends in our local community in Ann Arbor. Most of his friends had gone on to college, but he did start a career of couch surfing for about two years. But then even his friends sort of cut him off because he was too bizarre in his behavior. And I think he may have frightened people.

So at that point, I desperately was and I was getting no advice at all. No counseling from any. I couldn't find a lawyer to help me and I couldn't find a doctor to help me. I had no clue what to do. And I think this is commonly the case with parents. So I decided that he couldn't work. He couldn't hold a job. I mean, we tried that.

I took him to a few jobs and tried many times to get him trained in things over this three-year period. So I took him to the Social Security Administration and he was seen by a psychologist and And it was determined that he would receive SSI benefits, which is supplemental security income, which is really quite a pittance. I think it was $850 a month, but that's not enough to live on.

And then I eventually got him his adult disabled child social security disability stipend, which is much more reasonable. It's like the same amount you would get when you retire. I mean, there's some variance there, but in general.
