[QUOTE="JKF, post: 588499, member: 12470"] Sigh - I agree CJ. It might be too much for him right now but if it comes to that or the streets I will have to take the risk and send him. I've already researched psychiatrist's out there and there's a very good MH clinic within walking distance of the apt so as long as he's willing it won't be a problem for him to get care. I don't think he'd ever get physical with my dad. He really hasn't ever been physically violent but he's made a LOT of scary threats in the past during rages and has been destructive to property. That seems to have lessened for the most part although I can't say for sure that those days are definitely over. His MH worker is going to the motel to meet him tomorrow. Hopefully she can take him to get his medications. I'm not sure if insurance will cover them since they were stolen but I will pay out of pocket if necessary. I talked to the OTA who said that they will most likely approve him to stay at the motel for the time being as long as he's compliant with the MHA. I will talk more with both agencies tomorrow but it seems like they will keep him there as long as he's behaving. As for him going to Idaho - I'd rather him be with family instead of sitting alone in a motel room day after day but on the other hand I don't want to set him up for failure. He seems really excited about going out there but he's scared. He won't know anyone he said but, to be honest, he really doesn't know anyone here either. He has no real friends. He makes "friends" easily but it doesn't last. I feel so torn. I feel like he doesn't have much going for him here in NJ and that he'd have a shot at a better quality of life out in Idaho with my dad. Decisions, decisions, and nonstop worry. Ugggh! [/QUOTE]
