[QUOTE="Tired out, post: 745243, member: 23103"] Missy, 1st, for your peace of mind is your son in counseling? It really sounds like he needs coping strategies. Not eating to point of vitamin deficiency and seizures seems like some sort of depression issue. What about a certain # step plan? Example- 1st-Apartment for son.-- hopefully with room mate. maybe someone who is a little older than him? 2nd. - 1st 2 weeks: he lives at apartment 4 x/ week but sleeps at your home 3x/week and has 1 meal/day with you everyday (if possible- I don't know how that is working right now) 3rd week: sleeps at his apartment 5x/week stays , Sleeps at your house 12x/week and sees, eats with you 5x/week 4th week: sleeps at his apartment 6x/week , sees/ eats with you 4x/week 5th week: sleeps at apartment 7x/week, eats sees you 4x/week Go forward from there. What I am reading in your post is that you need and love both your boyfriend and your son. You have put your son before yourself. From that I don't believe you can just move him to an apartment and be done. I think the stress on your health would be too great. Maybe my idea is nuts. We don't know your son's history , why he stopped eating int he 1st place which lead to everything else. Talk with your boyfriend too. By week 3 maybe he can be on board to help you and see son with dinner 1 or 2x/week. It's probably a jealousy issue between them and the relationships with you,,they won't admit that. You two (3) can do this. [/QUOTE]
