[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711173, member: 1550"] Has he always been like this? Does he still use drugs? Is husband his father? Unfortinately you cant make him help himself. He is old enough that you can take him wherever he agrees to let you take him without father agreeing. So thays good. But he needs to want to go. You may also want to set a boundary...he goes for help or has 3-6 months to get his life together, including work, or he has to find his own housing. Or anything you think may jump start him. It is not good for anyone, especially a depressed person, to do nothing. It only makes the depression worse. I have fought depression most of my life. Anxiety too. The person needs to listen to therapist plus push to do things, even if they are depressed. I was there. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
