[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 669430, member: 3419"] Susie, welcome. I am so sorry that you are all going through this. It looks to me like your son does have a mental illness, and that the pressure from his father added to his lack of self-worth and reliance on good grades. However, it shouldn't have just "appeared" like this all of a sudden unless he is kind of using it as a crutch or excuse, regardless of the truth behind it. Does that make sense? I agree that he needs a full evaluation. And I am so sorry that you have to live with the echoes of the dr who said that your son sounded like a danger, and then there was no follow-up. Maybe, since your son moved out, he'll find a peer he will listen to? Our kids never want to listen to parents or professionals. Also, since he moved out recently, I bet he'll contact you one way or another. I hope that he banks the $20,000 and uses it wisely toward rent and groceries. I am so sorry. I feel for you. Keep us posted. I'm glad that you have a space now, emotionally, where your daughter can relax, do her homework, and not have to walk on eggshells. [/QUOTE]
