[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 694882, member: 4152"] Apologies up front as I'm rushing a bit and only read the first post. I think it is good that your son voluntarily went. We told our daughter if she ever felt suicudal to consider such a thing and she actually did this one time. I think it might be a good idea to require him to see a therapist and/or take medication regularly in exchange for your continued assistance with housing and so forth. Low dose medication might even be helpful esp when combined with therapy. No doubt you are helping with many things. Cell phone? Food? Clothing? Etc. it is appropriate that he does his part. And getting tx for your health problem is what mature people do. Re the job You might consider a practice run of reducing your hours. A few days a week? I would love to have a prof job a few days a week. This in my humble opinion is a treasure. If you give that a fair shot and it doesn't work, so be it. Do something else. BUT in my humble opinion honestly, if you could maneuver this into a professional PT job, I would consider it. They are hard to find. And you've already put a lot into it!!!!! Use your days off to relax and have fun. Go on little trips etc. But, in your heart you know what is best. What is your objective? How do you feel? I think youve mentioned therapy before. You might want to consider going back if you aren't currently going. Having a "special needs" adult child is profoundly taxing. What in the world are you doing for fun these days? Blessings. [/QUOTE]
