thank you was admitted again last night. It's become very apparent that he cannot function in the TLP program. No one forces him to bathe, do laundry, do any basic ADLs. He has started cutting and given the degree of depression I saw last night and the significant amount of cutting he's done, someone should have caught this much sooner. He was, once again, wearing no socks last night and the state of the clothing he was wearing is beyond words.
It's heartbreaking and very sad, but husband and I both agree he needs to return to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He needs more supervision. He needs staff who will fight the basic battles of hygiene and appropriate attire.
It's a huge step backwards, especially since I'm not sure he'll ever learn to do for himself if others do for him, but first and foremost has to be health and safety. He absolutely refuses to take any responsibility for self-care.
My heart ached for my boy last night. He's in pretty bad shape emotionally.
