[QUOTE="seriously, post: 449436, member: 11920"] You are not going to like to hear this but you or husband must be there to supervise and to care for your other kids. One of you needs to quit your job/take family leave, work part time split or off shift hours or work opposite shifts until he is 1) out of the house either because he is in residential treatment or has turned 18 and moved (or been asked to move) out OR 2) his moods have been stable on medications for at least several months and he is no longer doing dangerous behavior like fire setting AT ALL. I would not make any assumptions about his ability to distinguish reality from fantasy/psychosis. Given the interest in porn, I think you should have your younger children questioned by a knowledgeable child therapist to make sure they have not been sexually abused, touched or otherwise sexually approached by your son. And I would NEVER leave him unsupervised in my home or allow him to go to anyone else home right now. Please understand that psychosis means he truly has no idea that what he thinks is real - is NOT real. A psychotic person cannot be "reasoned" with because they are not rational. They believe what they believe because their mind is telling them that it is the truth. I am so glad he is out of your home and getting the right assessment and treatment. Hugs - he's in the right place now and getting the help needed to ensure all of you are safe. [/QUOTE]
