[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 675442, member: 19522"] Hi LS, so sorry for your troubles, here we go again.....I am sorry. LS, I think he is telling you what he wants, both by his behavior and [I]clearly[/I] with his words. You simply cannot force him to follow your rules, he has to see the need for it himself. My goodness LS, he is 6ft and 230, your son is a big man. I hope he did, for both of your sakes, this is not healthy for [I]either [/I]of you. You have already answered your own questions, LS-[I]he has to help himself[/I]. I soooo understand your grief and concern, because of his illness and the suicide attempt, I am so sorry, LS. That would scare the dickens out of me. It is hard to imagine, too, that he was released so soon? Doesn't seem right..... My two have challenges with depression due to their substance abuse, yet, I would not have them live with me.I do [I]not know [/I]what I would do if either one of them attempted suicide, with no place to go when released, that is a tough one.....I am certainly not equipped to deal with any of that. Did he stay, or did he leave? I hope you found a solution... It is hard to concentrate with this kind of worry. I went further back in your post and quoted some comments......I understand the suicide attempt must have made this all the more heartbreaking for you, but I think the advice still holds, LS. You can only do so much...... True, also if he will help himself or not.... Here is a good article on detachment.... [URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/article-on-detachment.53639/[/URL] I hope you are able to find solutions that include most of all, taking good care of yourself LS. I am sorry I cannot be of more help to you. Sending prayers for you and your son. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
