[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 405145, member: 1514"] Hi, nice to meet you. It is hard to have that adult kid at home isnt it? I was lucky enough...if you could call it that, that my son always wanted me to go with him to all his psychiatrist appointments when he was actually still going to them. Most of his psychiatrists knew us both from long before he was 18 so it was nothing new. They probably relied on my input as much as his. Of course, I cant make his appointments for him anymore or he would be going! He still wants mommy to do everything for him as far as medical stuff is concerned...other stuff...he insists he is all grown up. Whatever. I just tell him whats what and dont listen anymore. After your son makes that first appointment with the psychiatrist he may ask the psychiatrist if you can attend with him. That should be perfectly fine. As long as your son is okay with it, there is no reason he cant bring in a parent. The doctor just cant contact you without that signed consent form. Once your son signs it, you all can talk whenever. I have actually signed consent forms allowing all my family members to talk with my psychiatrist and therapist should the need arise including my difficult child. You just never know what can happen in life. [/QUOTE]
