[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 50055, member: 1967"] <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Actually...I hope he gets his :censored2: in gear and decides he has had enough of this drama, decides he has such wonderful loving parents, wants to go to Harvard, cure cancer, and build you a nice retirement home! Oh we can dream cant we? LOL. </div></div> Oh, Janet, we all have that dream, don't we? Mikey, I feel your pain and understand your dilema. But try to focus on one thing here ~ the choices that you are forced to make are really all based on one thing ~ your son's choices. He has the power to make the right choice and become a functioning member of your family and society. Or he can continue down this terrible path and force you to take a stand for the sake of the rest of the family. If you do end up having to go there, don't let yourself be eaten up with guilt. If your son ends up in jail, he is the one who put himself there. Now there may be reasons that he has turned to drugs and loser friends and it would be wonderful if he would agree to therapy and medications if they turn out to be indicated by the mental health assessment. But the bottom line is that at his age you can't force him to be medication compliant or go to therapy and if he won't then you will have to be strong and follow through on the advice of the local authorities. You are fortunate that there are people you can turn to that understand having a difficult child and have experience dealing with them. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
