[QUOTE="Fran, post: 449044, member: 3"] Hopefully, the medications will help him understand consequences. If you make a statement of consequence be prepared to follow through or he will never take you seriously. Have a plan of who to call and when. Make sure husband is on board. Have phone numbers and agencies at the phone. I don't know if medications will make him a "good" person since that is a choice but hopefully it will dial down his idea that he is capable of anything he wants to do. The rules don't apply to him. Therapy in addition to medications is a first step. Taking him away from the situation of all his "buddies" may not be a bad alternative to negative influences. If he is showing physical violence, then you need to have a plan to protect yourself also. It's scary. Sending good thoughts that the medications work. [/QUOTE]
