[QUOTE="buddy, post: 487676, member: 12886"] At any age it is a good idea to have a neuropsychologist evaluation (and I have it done over and over to follow progress and for new insight etc.) to help sort thru thinking and behavior and to connect it to how his brain works. I think it is reasonable to have a plan for him to move out. There are programs for people with mental health issues to support them living independently so it may be worth it to call the county and also any private programs to see what people have heard of and what supports are out there. He needs to know your limits in my humble opinion and needs to realize you will for sure follow through with a plan if he is disrespectful and especially when abusive. I know you love him, we all love our kids, but we have to love them to growth and maturity. There are lots of parents here who can help you in how to go about this... He still needs your input but not to be allowed to cause such issues in your home. Do you dont charge him rent? Well, he needs to pay you through chores at the very least. Have them worth a certain amount and if he doesn't do them then he needs to go somewhere where he learns the real deal. Sorry he is struggling. And sorry there is so much stress right now. There are many really smart and experienced folks here who have been in similar shoes so hold on and I am sure they will be along Occupational Therapist (OT) help out. In the mean time, glad you found this site. I am here to tell you these are some amazing people. Hugs and hand holding to you... Buddy [/QUOTE]
