[QUOTE="cynlee, post: 728000, member: 22713"] Thanks for sharing, Kalahou. Wow. There does seem to be some similarities in our sons. It sounds like you've been through the wringer or worse. Sounds like you're dealing well right now accepting how things are. Hard stuff. While he was growing up, my son and I were very close. We seemed to be so like-minded. (It was actually my other son that I was more worried about.) He used to say: "Mom, you don't have to worry. I'll take care of you and Dad when you get old." Plus he was so honest and truthful. Or, at least, I thought he was. Something snapped. Right now, he's busy doing laundry, vacuuming the house, and doing some yard work, and seems to be acting 'normal.' That's why I feel so strongly that he needs counseling or therapy so he can understand how to maintain this type of acceptable behavior. It just seems like when the mental illness takes over, he exhibits deviant behavior. He's even admitted, in the past, that he's mentally ill. Have any of your children tried CBT, Reference EEG, EMDR, Pharmacogenetic testing or Alpha-stimulant therapy? One of the psychiatrists I was referred to uses a variety of methods, including those, but I don't know anything about them. [/QUOTE]
