[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 701899, member: 17269"] Mcdonna, my 22 year old son orbits within about 5 miles of me, and you have more contact with your daughter than I do with him. I too get calls from emergency rooms and crisis centers about him. I used to answer to the best of my ability, giving them his history of diagnoses and medications. Usually he would contradict me, and we would hear no more. My interventions never helped to move things forward one iota. More recently I have come to understand that I actually know nothing..I don't know his motives, I don't know if his diagnoses are accurate, I don't know if he is taking his medications or using drugs. Sometimes he tells me things..I have no idea if they are true or not. In short, anything I might relay to the concerned caller is pretty unfounded. So now I say...I'm sorry, I really do t have enough contact with him to provide you with much information. He does have a history of mental health issues and substance abuse but I do not know where that stands now. Thank you for your efforts on his behalf. It's really all I can do. Good luck to you in this difficult journey. [/QUOTE]
