[QUOTE="Day, post: 659043, member: 19174"] I can't express enough how helpful all of your responses are! I know in my heart Copabanana, that he needs to move in that direction. I know it is best for him. When I bring it up, he looks terrified and gets tears in his eyes. He does not want to be alone and right now I can't do that to him. I just don't have the will to bring forth his greatest fear, not yet. But he knows that to live at home he needs to take his medications, see his doctors, help out at home. Our next step is that we got him a gym membership and he needs to go once a week to start, no excuses. He went to a welding course from September to February and did okay. We are talking about another course but he said he is not ready. I know my son is capable. I know he has what it takes to be independent. I have started putting up a bit of a barrier between myself and him. I became consumed with trying to 'fix' him and at the expense of everything. It was not healthy. I love my husband dearly and we are moving forward. We have agreed that there needs to be movement forward, no matter how small. Nomad, we do try and take all of those, as the psychiatrist is not a pill pusher and she had my son try the natural way for the first year. I have been to the doctor and I also need to get my health in order. I am 48 and pre-menopausal which really does not help! My poor husband! And i work with at risk young children and families in a downtown elementary school, so it can be a stressful job. On Tuesday an 11 year old tried to take his own life in the school bathroom. I came home and cried. When I read other posts on here, I cry. Why do some young people have to suffer so much? But your responses help so much. Your posts have made me feel stronger :) I am so thankful I found this site. [/QUOTE]
