[QUOTE="FlowerGarden, post: 573105, member: 3068"] Cheese, I read through your other post quickly and did not see any indication of your age or your brother's. If you look at the bottom of posts you will see many have a brief description with ages and diagnosis. You and your parents have gone through a lot with your brother. It is very hurtful. My difficult child had stolen from us and his older brothers. We spent a lot of money on trying to get him help. We contacted doctors, mental health agencies, and the police. My difficult child spent 9 months in a residential program in his late teens. He came out and started to slip away again. We got the police to talk to him. We told him, any more incidents and he will be thrown out of the house. It has been a year and he is working hard to stay on the right track. I am proud of him for how well he is doing. If you asked me before he went into the residential program what I thought he'd be doing at this age, I would have said he probably would be in jail or on the streets. My difficult child does say that the right doctor & therapist is the key to his success. Now that your parents are throwing him out of the house, it may jolt him into seeking help. It is definitely going to be rough on you and your parents. You just have to keep remembering you are helping him by doing this. [/QUOTE]
