[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 679123, member: 19245"] Copa, I have had very bad vertigo for 3 days and can barely walk. You are NOT defeated and you have done NOTHING wrong. Life is made up of gray zones, rarely black and white. Find your son a current social worker, case manager, and a therapist. He needs 'tools' as much, or more, than we do. You said that he doesn't realize that he is mentally ill. His conspiracy theories need to be 'quieted' so that he can truly focus on the adult tasks at hand. When one is constantly preoccupied, very little may be accomplished. Throw out any rational or common sense that you expect him to know. But, expect him to do these things step by step. Be clear. My son is much, much more ill. I doubt that he knows why he was taken away by the police. Remember, I was the bad guy in his delusions. He still doesn't probably realize why..... or the horrible police scene was quickly woven into the complex fabric of his delusions. You are doing the right thing. He has the best chance of getting better away from you. I have been reading a lot about this subject. You are still strong and in control. Feeding him a meal shows compassion. Compassion does not negate rules, structure, and clear expectations. In fact, these things SHOW compassion to your son, as well. You do not need a tank, or a bed to hide in. You are much stronger than you think! Love yourself and breathe. [/QUOTE]
