[QUOTE="quantumchef, post: 127065, member: 4708"] Thanks all - I agree he needs to be evaluated and also agree to start with the application process. I think that is going to happen. As far as evaluation - he has had evaluation's when he has gotten in trouble with the law - and in rehabs. Nothing came out of that that I know of. His father was also an alcoholic is also now in AA (does not really participate in his life - never has) and I believe also has the same type of anxiety - fear - insecurity that his son exhibits. I will look into what type of evaluation exists that might help point him in the right direction on several levels and get him some medications that could help. He has recently starting having some type of "panic attacks" and I know the mom is thinking some medications would help. He has such a low self esteem it is very difficult to get him to participate in things. The AA meetings are out right now due to lack of transportation. The meetings are in town and there is no bus out to where he lives. We live very rurally. His mom usually gets home too late from work to turn around and drive back to a meeting. When he was on parole she did do this but once the meetings were not mandatory he did not want to go anymore. It was a much older crowd at the local meetings and he is terrible at meeting new people.
