[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 707125, member: 15832"] Well, our guy's a partial success. No more drugs...check. Working...check. Takes care of own food...check. Takes care of own shelter...negative. We are paying his rent as he only works 25 hours a week. He is going to Vocational Rehabilitation to try and get a better job. He has applied foe federal and state jobs and even had an interview in December. However, he is not as aggressive in the job search as we think he should be and I believe his fears and anxieties hold him back. He goes to his psychiatrist and therapy appointments and takes his medicine, and works out at the gym several times a week. Pays for phone, gym, and bus pass. And I don't get any more frantic phone calls. If he has a crisis, he handles it and I hear about it after the fact. That is a BIG improvement. These young adults change very slowly. Expect lots of backsliding. Boundaries are very important if they are to have any chance of improving, and also to preserve YOUR mental health! Daze . [/QUOTE]
