[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 438583"] I would greatly and big time limit involvement...perhaps helping [U]A LITTLE [/U]with the first month's rent and the first few weeks food money. Offer to help look into wrap around services...but if he doesn't want it....so be it. Tell him if he changes his mind, you'll give him the number (s) to get it back. He needs to want the help. You might tell him that you'll help him with any of his medical care, including medicine and psychological services if and only if you can prove he is going, etc. But, I would [U]greatly limit [/U]paying for anythign else. It's important on a variety of levels that he knows that he MUST learn to take responsibility for his health concerns, including mental health problems. Ditto to Rejectedmom and Mrsammler's posts...last paragraphs in particular!!!! It is hard as anything, but let him fall ....make sure he knows that he can always go to an ER if necessary...but HE AND HE ALONE should take the proper steps to try to avoid that situation. Have you read the book called "Boundaries" by Townsend? Please look into or continue going to Al Anon or FAmilies Anonymous. If you have a moment...please re-read the last paragraphs to Rejectedmom's and mrsammlers posts....ditto ditto ditto [/QUOTE]
