[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 753848, member: 1967"] Hi RN. I am so sorry this is happening. I am glad that your son has asked for help but am worried that he thinks just taking an anti-depressant will fix everything. My daughter was on (and still is) on anti-depressant all through her drinking and drugging years. She was also put on a lot of other drugs for various diagnoses that all turned out to be wrong. I hope he will give the church recovery group a chance. I truly believe my daughter wouldn't be sober today if she didn't have the strong support of her NA group and sponsor. There may come a time when you are going to have to decide whether you will stand behind your words that your son can't live there if he is drinking and using. It will be very hard but remember that he is 24-years-old. While that seems young to us, it is certainly old enough to be an independent functioning adult. Are you still seeing your therapist? I don't know anything about the military. Will they still take him if he has a depression diagnosis and is on medication for it? I am rooting for him! ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
