[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 504244, member: 1233"] Why would you discuss him iwth the psychiatric hospital? Isn't HIPPA supposed to stop that? I thought they "couldn't" discuss his problems with you. If he signs a release for them to do so, why not claim HIPPA and say that you "can't" discuss him with them, that he is an adult and needs to work it out? I hope you stick to his move out date. Him having nowhere to go is because he does NOT believe you will do it and thus, why should he CARE about your home, your rules, your move-out date or your life? If he is to ever "get it" then he has to leave the day you said. It is the first step of making him uncomfortable enough to grow up. Remember when he was a baby? He wanted something on the other side of the room and cried for you to give it to him. At some point you let him cry and learn to crawl rather than carrying him to it or it to him. Same thing for when he learned to walk. If you didn't let him work it out, he would STILL be unable to walk. So this? Is growing pains and he has to figure it out because you are not ABLE to teach him how to do it. He is not ABLE to understand what you tell him to do. Just as if you spoke English and he spoke Greek. You could give all the directions you want, help all you want, but you can't make him do what he needs to unless you let him be uncomfortable. If he chooses the psychiatric hospital as his next home then that is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. If he chooses to use social services, well, the hospital and the shelters have social workers who are PAID to help him figure those out. You? Haven't gotten paid in a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time. So stop doing the work. [/QUOTE]
