[QUOTE="keista, post: 456541, member: 11965"] You have a very smart and supportive family! I can't tell you how many posts I've seen on this board, of parents coming here for support, because family and friends are criticizing their plans of kicking out their kids. Of course, none of the "well meaning" family and friends are willing to step up to the plate and help out. Kicking him out would not be turning your back on him. On the contrary, if you allow him to live in your house and continue to be irresponsible, and use drugs, you are just enabling him and blocking his road to productive adulthood. Is he still in therapy? Is he still taking his medications? It sounds like his depression is not being well controlled, and tackling that would be my first plan of attack. If he's not willing to help himself in this aspect, he's gotta get out. Welcome to the board. Others with current and past experience with this will be along to share their insights. Stick around. You've found a great place for support! [/QUOTE]
