[QUOTE="Beta, post: 750278, member: 22597"] Deni D, my sister has a degree in psychology but has not worked as a therapist. No, he absolutely will not see anyone for evaluation. In his mind, there is nothing wrong with him. It's the fault of everyone else, mostly us, and the circumstances. He doesn't see the connection between his choices and his life circumstances. Thank you for your prayers. RN0441, yes, I was afraid something would happen and it wouldn't work. I've just hoped that while staying at their house he would see what life can be like when it is calm and normal, and he might have a change of mind/heart and be willing to do what he needs to move forward in life. But, maybe not. I will post again this evening or (if I'm too upset to write) tomorrow morning, once I've spoken to my sister and know for sure what's going to happen. I wish I could sit down on a regular basis and talk with a professional who is knowledgeable about mental illness and how to detach, but I just can't afford it. I went to one session with someone on Josh's birthday in January, but just can't swing the fee, even at a reduced rate, on a regular basis. My husband and I are trying to get ready for his retirement, which will happen in about a year and a half, and we have spent so much money on Josh that we wish we had right now and are "behind the eight ball" so to speak on being financially ready for the decrease in his income.
