[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 638460, member: 15832"] Thanks, you guys. We saw him today. He looked tired but was conversant. The house manager is very controlling and is not very diplomatic, to put it gently, with the clients in the house. His previous job was with the Salvation Army rehab, so you can tell where he is coming from. The other guys in the house complain about him constantly and call him not so nice names behind his back. My son says the other guys harass him (about what I don't know. He's not weird looking or anything) The stress of living with a bunch of strangers is really getting to him, and he told us the house manager told him he got one more chance to clean up his room and if it wasn't up to expectations he was getting the boot. This really was very frightening for him to hear this. I talked to the house manager last night, and I got a different story. He told me my son is one of the most compliant ones in the place, never a problem. I asked him about the laundry and his room and he said sometimes he needs reminders but it's not that much of a problem. So apparently he blusters and makes empty threats, but because of difficult child's learning disability and personality/psychiatric problems difficult child takes him seriously and gets very stressed out and depressed. difficult child'S problems with interpersonal relationships and his social anxiety are such big contributers to his depression and anxiety. He was doing a little better this summer, playing basketball and chess and going to more meetings, but that's kind of fallen by the wayside. He had a ready social group through his cousin, who took him to meetings and introduced him to people, but has never made one friend since he's been in this area for the last nine months. It's really strange, since he has always had friends growing up and seemed to be well liked. The clique he hung around with late teens/early twenties were genuinely baffled and worried when he disappeared for a while (hospital and rehab), posting on Facebook and calling the house. His therapist says he needs a higher level of care, but where and what? He doesn't seem to know. Mentioned one private pay program that's at least 9000.00 a month. [/QUOTE]
