[QUOTE="Second Time Around, post: 667859, member: 18739"] This is a very, very difficult situation to be in. Hopefully, once he's taking medications in the hospital, he will start thinking more rationally again and be willing to continue treatment. But he may not. I think you cannot take him back into your house. Keeping him out will force the hospital and treatment center to take more responsibility for him. Also, as Feeling Sad told you, taking him home will probably not help him at all and may make him worse. He may need to be out in the streets having a miserable life before he begins to be motivated to change things. If he's living at home, he'll have no incentive to do anything different. His mental illness might prevent him from seeing this either way, but you will at least be protecting yourselves. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
