[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 659770, member: 18516"] Hugs to you JKF. As much as it hurts you have to do what is best for you. There are many people who are alone and have serious illness that they have to deal with all on their own. Your son will also have to learn how to deal with this on his own. It's no surprise that he has reached out to you looking for a place to stay. That would make it very easy for him. I'm sorry that he is experiencing this but it's his life, his health and he will need to learn how to manage it. Even if you were to let him come stay in your home at some point he would need to take responsibility for his health and life, you would only be putting off what needs to happen. As for talking to a social worker, great idea. I would make it very clear to the social worker that your home is NOT an option. [COLOR=#ff0000][U]You have nothing to feel guilty about[/U][/COLOR]. Having him in your home would do nothing but cause you stress and you do not need that. Let your son know you love him and affirm to him that he can figure this out on his own. :staystrong::notalone: [/QUOTE]
