[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 664598, member: 17542"] BG when our dcs are in the thick of it, they cannot know what will work or not work for them. I believe you are at a point with him that could be a turning point for good as well as bad. All of the people who care about him are in sync. It is too bad she decided to tell him anything without knowing what is going to happen and without assistance in telling him from professionals. This is the juncture where our system fails us and them I believe. There are no to very few designated pathways for people who are very sick with mental illness. Of course they don't want to be told what to do by us---they want to keep on until they finally don't. Trying to intervene may or may not work but I think trying is a worthy thing to do. His life on the street is dangerous. Yes he may decide to react but most threaten and do not act. What else can well meaning people like you, who love him, do besides try something different? It is scary for you and for him but where has doing the same things over and over gotten you and him? He is not the best judge of what he needs right now. Get some professional help now to navigate next steps with him. All you can do is try and I believe that is a good thing. [/QUOTE]
