[QUOTE="brken hearted in chicago, post: 656141, member: 19028"] In reading all the previous advice, the common thread seems to be tough love. Push him out and let him fend for himself. It appears that a lot of these stories end with the son being homeless/ jail/etc. My son was a productive member of society. He has his issues, but even in the pit of his depression, he remembers birthdays, communions, all the important stuff that a caring adult should remember. He was hit with recurrent panic attacks that have left him stunned, and unarmed to handle life outside his sanctuary. Is there anything besides this tough love that can really help him. He wants to get better, he takes his medication, he sees his psychiatrist. But he is afraid to leave the house. He has long term plans, but the months are going by. Is there any way I can help him without the tough love. As a mother of 4, I have found more often than not, that stuff can backfire right in your face. Help [/QUOTE]
