[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 728602, member: 22819"] That's our dilemma too. If we loosen the reigns, we're afraid of what he'll do out there (drugs, theft...), but if we don't, then he starts feeling trapped and everything gets worse. We are currently using a system set up by the psychiatrists we're working with, where he can earn privileges by complying with his responsibilities. So, for instance, to have friends over, he has to do his chores, be respectful, take his medications and supplements, do his occupational therapy... for three days. One day for internet access. One week for going out alone. If he smokes, takes drugs, drinks... he is suspended from work (he works one day a week and loves it) for two weeks, and gets his screens confiscated too. We've only been doing this for a week, so it's all very new, but it does seem to be helping him to control his rages and impusiveness. Hang in there, mama. [/QUOTE]
