[QUOTE="klmno, post: 318964, member: 3699"] It could be abuse, but this is also a proven method of rehabilitation- and not all using this are abusing the patient. It's good that you see the red flags, but I agree with having a knowledgable third-party to look into it careffully before concluding which one this is. The third party should be able to talk to Matt and determine if he's learning healthier thought patterns or if he's being brainwashed and victimized. I don't agree with telling you that "you" are part of the problem. The relationship [I]might[/I] need re-structuring in order to be healthier for both of you, but to me, that isn't the same as saying "you" are the problem. Anyway, I can see them working with him independently instead of you both as a family because of his age. They might, later on, try to work some with both of you if you are willing to. I am basing all this on the therapy/treatment I went thru in my early 20's. If my memory serves correctly (which is questionable), he's been in there over a year. I would be wondering about it if I didn't see some real progress already, given that I don't see Matt as one who is fighting improvement every step of the way. [/QUOTE]
