[QUOTE="Laker16, post: 728681, member: 22808"] Littleboylost, that is really helpful. If we let him come home will he be safer? Maybe in the short term because he will have shelter/warmth/food & we can watch his every move while nagging him to stick with his treatment, but does that get him any closer to being able to take care of himself? I don't know that it would. I am going to discuss that very question with my husband this evening...thank you! You are right, our son has had some tough times, but has never really had to own the consequences of his denial. I think the hardest part about that for us is the mantra we keep hearing from NAMI and books on mental illness is: "his mental illness prevents him from accepting/realizing that he has a mental illness". With that in mind, it excuses him from [U]ever[/U] being responsible for himself...it is maddening! Thank you for your words of understanding and support. [/QUOTE]
