[QUOTE="ColleenB, post: 711301, member: 19887"] Oldest son has been sleeping all day and out all night since he moved home in early march. He says he is depressed and not using, but I don't know for sure. Two nights ago he came home and the car has some damage to it. This would be bumper number four if we were to fix it. I know.... we are the problem at this point. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same things over and expecting different results.... sigh.... We tried to stay calm with him, but explained he could no longer drive our vehicles and we weren't going to fix this bumper right away... we would like to see him take some responsibility and pay for it...even if it takes months to pay off. We also made him promise he would seek therapy if depression is the real issue. He has promised to go today. I am going to hold him to it. I'm off today for my own doctors appointment and I will drop him off at the counselling centre. They do intake there. I know we may not be doing it all right, and I know there is most likely more to his story. But I'm just trying to take it a day at a time and give him support [/QUOTE]
