[QUOTE="GlassPaws55, post: 579767, member: 15945"] Hi. I have a 24 year old son who has brain damage from a stroke and Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). He is argumentative, combative, narcissistic, and has no insight as to how impaired he is. I kicked him out of the house on New Years Eve for the eighth and last time. He would not obey any of our house rules, parties with the worse bunch of younger kids, is verbally abusive, self medicates with pot and alcohol, is not medication compliant (he sells the pills to others), cannot keep a job, and can drive a sane person crazy in under a minute. We have tried everything-parent effectiveness training, counseling, behavior modification, a school for the behaviorally disturbed, residential housing, early intervention program, 10 psychiatric hospitalizations, a variety of medications. Nothing works. He is the most unpleasant person to deal with. Does anyone have any strategies that might work? My husband and I are on our last nerve. I finally got him Social Security disability and just applied for SSI. We have him at a seedy motel in our home town which I am paying for until his benefits come in. His benefits will not be enough to pay for the hotel let alone his living expenses.I am his representative payee as he has racked up $10,000+ in debts and cannot be trusted to handle his money. I see an endless round of battles coming when the money comes in. I am losing here folks! I feel like I fell down the Alice in Wonderland hole and can't get out. Please help. [/QUOTE]
