[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 530713, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board Matti. I have to agree with the other posters that you need to find what resources your area has for adult mentally ill people. Normally there are some form of group homes for people who have severe mental illnesses who cannot live alone. At 23 you may still feel you want him at home and I can understand that but at some point you may want to look into placing him into such a placement for both of you. I assume your son sees a psychiatrist. Are you his guardian? Do you go in with him to see the doctor? Have you told the doctor about the pot use? Hopefully the doctor can get through to him that this isnt good. Now, you say that he is causing problems at home. What type of problems? Is he becoming violent? I think you need to talk to his doctor and try to figure out some decent answers that arent so severe as kicking him out until you try other things first. [/QUOTE]
