[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 614152, member: 1721"] Two months is not a long time to recover from using any medication that affects the brain. Could it be that son's depression has more to do with his rebalancing brain chemistry than the restrictive nature of his surroundings? His history of relapse, combined with his attitude toward his father and his lackluster job hunting history indicates someone who needs more time to stabilize. I don't think son is being manipulative, really...just probably so ready to get on with his life and tired of needing to be where he is. Think about someone who has been physically ill for awhile. (Or even, think back to when you were pregnant!) There are times when we just want to get back to our regular lives. And we can't, so we get cranky and demanding. It seems to me that son's placement here is working for him, so far. Before he knows it, he will have worked his way to the less restrictive environment. Does he have access to the library? Or maybe, you could order him some books? Maybe, foreign-language tapes, something like that? Cedar [/QUOTE]
