[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 588647, member: 15812"] Thanks all. It's still hard to watch. He's unhappy (who would be?) and irritable. He only comes here long enough to shower and work on two incompletes from last spring when he went to rehab. His deadline is next week and he still has about 1/3 of a term's work to do. So, he is feeling the pressure. Plus he has been out of work a week tomorrow so I'm sure he is running out of cash. When the gas runs out, the car stays here. difficult child doesn't plan for things like delays in that first paycheck, etc. So, even when the classes are over, he will still be under the gun a while. Plus I have a call into his therapist to ask if he signed a release and to give her some background. He sees her Wed. he saw the shrink last week. He continued his antidepressant plus the Neurotin (sp?) the rehab put him on. I know difficult child isn't taking that 4 times a day. doctor also put him on Straterra for ADHD. He starts that tomorrow. Bottom line is...I don't think he is heavily drinking, etc. He has made progress in some ways, like stopping smoking but still has a ways to go. At the same time, I keep righting up when I see places that need it. I'm also expecting more without saying a word, like I don't ask for his laundry nor do I do it. I am not his maid. i feel a rumble of another bump coming. He doesn't want to live within my rules. He just bragged about them going for snacks in the middle of the night. He is trying to unnerve me. Problem is....I don't care and comments like that only make me realize how irresponsible and lazy he is. *I know he is MUCH better when working. Just hope he finds one thing soon. [/QUOTE]
