[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 337264, member: 805"] Jeppy, sorry you had to resort to this extreme, but you have to do what works. I would be straight forward about how high his anxiety level is and how that affects his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I would also, though I'm sure it's a matter of record, be as honest as possible about his raging, property destruction, etc. You have to show your son in his true light, no sugar-coating, in order to get him the help he needs. I would hope that he will be given a full evaluation. If Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the only mental health issue he is dealing with, the good news is that medications and therapy can be very effective. He as to want it though.... Perhaps that is why the tdocs have not made any progress with him so far, he wasn't interested. Now perhaps he'll have the motivation - coming home. Stay strong - don't be sidelined by guilt or manipulation to allow him a visit. Wait until you see there is some forward progress and you can use it as a good carrot. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
