[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 646793, member: 12856"] He is very definitely controlling your lives. You raised him. You taught him. It really is up to him now. I would not chase after him. That sends the message that he is in control. If he does not have his medication, he will have to face the consequences of how that plays out. I know that you say he is 15 mentally. Fifteen year olds are capable of making good choices. So much of what we do with our difficult children has to do with our fear of our kids getting into trouble. The naked truth is that we can't protect them. That makes us feel helpless and vulnerable, and that causes us to be engaged in away that backfires on everyone concerned. [/QUOTE]
