[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 660907, member: 18516"] Welcome Maxma, I'm so sorry about your son and I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. You are not alone, there are many here that know what you are going through. I agree with the others and the advice they have given. There are many people who deal with severe depression and other mental illness and they are able to manage their lives. Your son is no different and there is no reason that he too can lead a good life. By allowing him to live in your home where he can play video games when he wants and sleep when he wants, there is no consequence and this is not helping him, you or your other son. There is a fine line between helping someone and enabling someone and it can be very easy to cross over to enabling without really knowing that's what you are doing. You think you are helping but you're not. I am glad you have an appointment. with a therapist. You also now have this forum which is a great place to vent share.
