[QUOTE="Concerned Mom & Dad, post: 703573, member: 21063"] We have a very hard time getting him to talk to us at all. He has never said that the medications make him feel bad, just that he wants to see what he would feel like without them. Another problem we have is that he is almost phobic about psychiatrists. I don't really know why. Last time we got him to go see a psychiatrist was about a year ago and although the visit seemed pretty benign to us, he was actually sobbing in the car on the way home from the stress of th visit. My heart just breaks when I think of this. It feels like he is using this last incident to break the last ties with us short of moving out (and letting us pay for his phone and car insurance). He stayed out until until 5:30 last night. I asked home today to at least text me when he was going to be out all night. He refused. We really have no more leverage with him. Work is the only positive thing he's got going and I don't want to jeopardize it by threatening to take away car or phone. I guess we just need to let this play out. [/QUOTE]
