[QUOTE="jcs, post: 221748, member: 6482"] Thanks to all. Not sure how everything is posted and all but to share a few things about him... he's now 21 years old. From 10-14 he was hospitilized a couple of times for threats of suicide (verbal). Was diagnosed with major depression (but the dr wasn't 100% sure) Possibly bipolar but his readings were on the low end and the dr didn't think that was the case. Was on Welbutrin and others(?). Stopped taking....doctor said ok. I don't have a lot of confidence in these dr.s It seems it's all a crapshoot. But this is what we are dealt with. He was fine for a couple of years... and then was arrested for pot. He's been clean for over a year. Was diagnosed with ODD. I believe that is the correct diagnoses. He wants to come back home... but shows no remorse for his actions. I know this is the right thing to do BUT I am so fearful of what may happen to him. Is he able to cause harm to himself to others while he is 'out on his own'? What did you all do when he came knocking at the door and pulled all of the triggers to cause you guilt? How did you stay firm? We told him last night that he had to make some changes and 1 of them was to pursue counseling. That HE had to make the call and the appointment. I am so emotionally on a roller coaster. Thanks again for your assistance. JCS [/QUOTE]
