I am baptized Episcopalian too. Yet excommunicated from Catholic church. My hubby is baptized Catholic but he isn't that devout so we married in an Episcopalian ceremony.

Depends on who is supporting who. If he was supporting his family or if they were contributing equally that is totally fine.

Son is supporting the parents and/or all contributing equally. You have to understand that living together saves a ton of money. People are rich for a reason.

I will admit, i am rather offended by some of you who are turned off that someone is getting help. At least he aint mooching off family and friends or
, of course.

Thing is, I JUST got out of a relationship with a guy who was on disability, and yes, he also got food stamps. However, the bad thing with him is, he DID mooch off of me. Big time. and was never thankful for what i did for him.
And, instead of pounding the pavement looking for work or looking to get training in fields of work that he could do with his limitations (disablity, criminal record for Real Esate Scamming) he just chose to sit around all day, and think that one day he was going to get a job in the real estate field again, once he passed the test and went before the board. However, the board is strict on stuff like that, and i used to tell him he better have a back up plan, but he would not hear of it.

So, if a guy is on disability and gets food stamps, as long as he handles his own situation and does not mooch off of someone all the time, and..(if he PHYSICALLY can), is looking for work, then fine.

I DO understand that sometimes people need that because of situations that they cant control.
