[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 662306, member: 18958"] I spoke with a psychiatrist who says medical guardianship will not help me. So it seems I am left with trying to get payee status. I thought my first step would be to collaborate with my son and to ask him; and possibly speak with a psychiatrist to obtain a letter for Social Security. I called and left a message where I thought he was. No reply. I called again and was told he was discharged this morning. No one would tell me where he went. I am left holding the bag of feelings. I am getting to the point that I feel so destabilized by this I will do almost anything to get him stable so that he will take antivirals for his liver, including letting him live here for a time. But he has fouled things up so with his Hepatologist by not getting to appointments, cannot be seen by her until October. Whether this is true or false I do not know. The fact is I rarely know what is true about what he tells me. I do know it is true he is not taking his medication. I do not at this moment know where my son is or how to find him. He is mad at me and I doubt if he will call soon. Again, I do not know how to handle this. I know the solution lies somewhere in me. I have accepted that he needs my help. But how? If I cannot find him. And he will not call me. I get angry with him when I feel helpless and say stupid things. I do not know how long he will stay mad at me. What do I do to make this not hurt so much? It seems like either detachment parenting is not working for me. Or that I am not working detachment parenting. What is clear is that I have accepted that my son cannot do this alone. The only problem with that is that as yet, I cannot do it with him. [/QUOTE]
