[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 583956, member: 1233"] I think the only way you are going to be able to handle this is with the help of a very good therapist and possible a group for parents of children with serious health problems AND alanon/narcanon family groups. Not one of these, but likely 2 or even all 3 of them. I don't have any other advice, because I just don't have any experience with them. I would only give money to whatever place he owes money. You can call a doctor or hospital or even many pharmacies and pay for a medication over the phone or pay over the computer. NEver do this with him in the room. I would be tempted, personally, to press charges and have him in jail if possible. That way you would know where he is, he would get medical care there (they have to take care of his problems) and it would be safer than the streets. It would also keep him from further theft of your property and identity, and maybe would break the hold that entitlement has on him. But I am NOT in your situation, and don't know if I would follow through. [/QUOTE]
