[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746729, member: 18958"] Interesting. I am remembering here that your son likes to work. He gets jobs. He has maintained himself economically for long periods, right? He doesn't need you for economic reasons, am I right? He could easily get a job and leave the program, the apartment, could he not? So the question is why not? Why would he be playing ball? My own son IS ZERO PERCENT INTERESTED IN TREATMENT OF ANY SORT. I have no leverage over him. He will capitulate to me in word only. Not in deed. As in pay lip service. Is this what you think son is doing? Why would he compromise his independence? For what? If he has alternative means of survival at hand? He has to be getting something besides money. He seems disinterested in complying with the program at this point. But interested in maintaining something. This will play itself out. I think in the next week you will know. This is stressful. Is your son somebody who plots? Does he have this kind of strategic personality? He has not appeared to me this way. I understand that he capitulated. But maybe it was all posturing. Is he this sneaky? He sounded more transparent. [/QUOTE]
