[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 711486, member: 18958"] Colleen. Of course there is the reality of few or no treatment resources available. But your son is an adult. He could go to other provinces, metropolitan areas where there is help available. He does not have to stay with you, where there is so little for him and where you take so much of the responsibility off his shoulders. My son bemoans how little there is for him in our small rural city of 80k, several hours from the huge metropolitan area near us, where we come from. But here there is County Mental Health. There is martial arts. There is exercise, walking, running, bilateral exercise that discharges negative affect. There are hundreds of religious orientations. There is hard physical work, like gardening, which has been an age old way that people have worked through problems and trauma. There are expressive arts: painting, murals, sculpture, woodworking. These can be done by anybody, anytime. But the fundamental thing is this: we did NOT tell him to come back here. Nobody is holding onto his pants' leg to make him stay. This is free will. These are adult men. [/QUOTE]
