[QUOTE="UnfortunateOne, post: 704925, member: 21191"] My son is 23 with long history of mental illnesss and drug addiction. He was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and hospitalized twice for medication management. He's been in and out of justice system for drugs and recently started using heroin & meth. He was nearly beaten to death a few weeks ago by meth heads over $40. He has several broken bones and covered with road rash. He was discharged from hospital after a week and started freaking out. My Mother was going to let him heal at her house since he can no longer come home with me & his stepfather. I I called Police to have him baker acted. He chose not to get help but even if he did they wouldn't keep him because he has no insurance and has cooccurring disorder which has low percentage of successful rate. I saw him yesterday panhandling with slipper shoes that do not fit his feet. He's staying at local shelter and looks a mess and can hardly walk. I'm completely devastated and know there is nothing I can do and can no longer enable him. As a Mother & a nurse this is the hardest time in my life. [/QUOTE]
