[QUOTE="bertie, post: 173238, member: 965"] >you aren't doing him any favors---he needs to take medications because he WANTS to get better, not because something is being held over his head< Yes, that's true. Thanks Suz. There aren't any people/relatives in that area who would be willing to take care of the money. They've seen what I've gone through with him and unfortunately he's burned a lot of bridges. The amount is not that large anymore, he's gone thru a lot of it - we're talking less than $5K. He does have a learning disorder (i.e. he simply cannot figure out how his checking acct works). He's so immature for his age. The last time I was really active on this group was when he was a teen, so I'm a little rusty and I really don't know how to handle him now that he's an adult; this is a whole new ballgame. I guess what I'm trying to figure out is - is it ok to tell him to sink or swim? [/QUOTE]
