[QUOTE="AHF, post: 454012, member: 11180"] Thanks to all. Yes, personality disorder is the diagnosis no one wants because there is so little anyone can do. I don't think he is hiding from debts--the way poker debt works, no one is after you until and unless you start playing on your own without paying them off, and he is in no position ($35 to his name and no credit cards) to do that. He does have other debts, but he hasn't felt consequences from them yet, so he doesn't care. I think he is hiding from life--from the possibility that the rules do apply to him, that he will have to work for his bread, that it will come slow and hard and with no magic. My thought right is that when they call this morning I will ask them to do whatever they would do if there were no generous mom in the picture. Would they keep him there? Discharge him? Or commit him to the state hospital? Whatever choice they would make under those circumstances, they should make now. And then when he is really ready for make a change, I can support him however I can. No matter what I do or they do, he will a) blame me and b) possibly kill himself. That's the reality I'm trying to face. And I have such a hard time facing it! [/QUOTE]
