[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 537143, member: 4264"] I actually think sharing a psychiatrist, if the dynamic between parent and child allows for it in a healthy fashion, is a fantastic arrangement. I can't see it being for many people. But since it works for you two, i am glad that you were able to have him seen at the same place as you go. Then there is the side benefit that if either of you don't feel like going to a appointment, you have a sort of built in accountability partner to motivate a person to go anyhow. Cory sounds so self intuitive. I think it's wonderful that he is readily able to open up to a psychiatrist and to accept a little help for things he sees in himself. Hope the medications help and that he just continues on this path he is on. Can I just add that there is something very special about adult children and parents being close enough to be able to do something like this together without strife? It speaks volumes about the two of you and about your relationship. I'm also certain your openness about your struggles and your history of caring for yourself and your needs is the best example a parent can set. Your boys are all very lucky Janet. [/QUOTE]
