[QUOTE="Deni D, post: 759771, member: 22840"] Oh Copa, my heart aches for you. I feel like our sons are brothers from another mother. My son has been out of control and not in much contact with me for a couple of years now but he brings it on just like your son does when I have contact with him. I know M has tried as much as he can which my significant other has also tried in the past. I've seen first hand how the thought of a lack of pot can make my son go so far over the edge it's unbelievable. I think, could be wrong, but I think your son does the same. I really think it has so much to do with the self-medication issue verses accepting the mental illness they could actually deal with. When I read your posts I feel them to the bone although I can't articulate like you do in writing. The difference seems to me is your son takes himself out to get to you even more than my son is willing to do to get to me. The putting himself out in the bushes in the cold... I don't know if I could stand it. My son is in contact with a mental health organization which is giving him an efficiency apartment to live in now. We are in an area of the country where the weather has been going into the single digits at night. I'm thankful for these people who are helping my son. But even with all of my endless searching I did not find them. The local mental health crises people put him in touch with this mental health org. I had called the mental health crises unit numerous times and provided them with my sons lengthy written history, the mental health org stepped up to take him on. I have no contact with them but I know they have, even in these times, picked my son up and taken him to food banks and grocery stores and even taken him to his fathers funeral last month. So I know they are quietly trying to nudge him to taking responsibility for himself. But all of that aside from our sons. I wish I could wrap you up in a big soul squeezing, rocking, loving hug. And then go for a walk tonight around this beautiful campground in the balmy 50's (lol) weather with our flip flops nosily announcing our presence to the kind waving people and wildlife residents. We could walk and flip flop in conversation sharing the serious to the the funny to even our very simple grateful remembrances of our experiences in our lives.
