[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 727717, member: 21895"] Mental health issue or not your son is refusing to help himself in a constructive way. You have been to NAMI. Are you familiar with the term enabling. If he stays in your home what will change? Will it be for the better or worse? If he continues on this downward spiral and something happens to him, how will you feel. There are a great deal of self help guides dealing with detachment and letting go with love. And as a wise person once told me....several times l, love does say NO. Do what you feel is in your heart to do. But please keep yourself and your belongings safe. I don’t feel safe in my own home either. We are coming to a conclusion to all of that. I had my son arrested, more than once. I have put him out of my house more than once and he is only 18. We do what we can bear to do. There is no right or wrong answer here. So think about getting support for yourself emotionally. A therapist may be a good idea. This is not easy stuff. [/QUOTE]
