[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 603478, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome-- I am sorry that you are dealing with this and I wish I had some better answers for you, but unless you are willing to evict him and force him into some kind of assisted living situation...I think you do not have any real options. If a near death experience was not enough of a "wake up call" to your son - I cannot imagine anything that will have enough of an impact on him to really change his behavior. You may need to make the difficult choice of choosing between your son and the rest of your family. If I sound hopeless and bitter - it is because we just buried a 49 year old relative who refused to change his ways or get help for his issues. His 75 year old father spent thousands of dollars and endless hours caring for him, trying to get him to take care of himself, going crazy with worry - to no avail. Sometimes, Love is just not enough... I'm sorry. [/QUOTE]
