[QUOTE="Allan-Matlem, post: 444735, member: 10"] Star , Thanks for your brilliant piece of writing and advice. Mom, your son needs help , he lacks the coping skills to seek help in the appropriate way with all the emotional baggage around. I don't think coming home is a good idea , that is just one solution to his present difficulties. He needs someone to speak to , someone who will be accepting and not judgmental and help him find a new path. Maybe invite him for coffee somewhere to chat - no blaming , not mad at him , just want to hear and support him. Let him speak - what vision does he have for his future , what does he need to get there , what's getting in his way at the moment , what are his concerns ? Solutions - let him come up with several alternatives that would be mutually satisfactory - coming home is not one of them Allan [/QUOTE]
