[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 692144, member: 15832"] We bought ours a cheap condo for 20,000.00 but he flamed out after a month, ended up in the hospital and never lived with us again. That was over three years ago. This is what makes Lil and Jabber's situation so difficult. Ours was a lot easier (?) because he went into the hospital and once he was there we refused to take him back, so he had no choice but to go to rehab and then sober living. He's kind of on the borderline of some kind of mental illness/personality disorder, probably abuses substances but not a full fledged addict, can't hold a job, relationship problems, once in a while sees a counselor but refuses any kind of psychological evaluation or assessment.... so what do you do? I know what's helped us was a therapist to guide us through. This is really tough stuff, and I think it would be well worth it to get your own therapist to help you navigate this difficult situation with your son. Everyone's advice on the board is good, but having the support of your own professional counselor can be invaluable, especially since your son has issues, but they're not so flagrant as to get him immediate, intensive help.
