[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 176611, member: 1157"] I feel for you, I really do. I think the suggestion of using some of his money to get him into a psychiatrist more quickly is a good one. As far as finding a good therapist for yourself, try your local chapter of NAMI .. or see if your local mental health agency has a support group for families of mentally ill people. Members of those types of support groups are great resources for therapists. It is a fine line between enabling and helping. It's good that your difficult child is taking steps to get help. For me keeping therapy appts and taking medications is key for giving oldest any help at all. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
