[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 727733, member: 13303"] Your son is an adult and is making his choices. You now have to make your own choice. He will not change, he has no reason to change as long as his parents are taking care of him, as if he was a child. This is not a slam, please don't take it that way. Just a reminder that he is not a little boy that you are obligated to feed, clothe and house any longer. He is a 35 year old man who will not grow up. Many people suffer from mental illness and still function as adults in society. They are responsible citizens who take their medications, go to therapy, and otherwise do what is necessary so that they can live normal lives. There is no reason your son cannot do so. If he threatens suicide you can call the police and report that he is a danger to himself. They will take him to a hospital for observation. So sorry you are going through this. Chances are if you do not put him out, it will continue to get worse with stealing and lying. [/QUOTE]
