[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 751319, member: 23405"] Busy, I agree. Both my sons are not currently on any medications. Younger son took himself off by his own accord but honestly he was just as bad on it! Older son, I have no idea what his issues are but I assure you he doesn't think he has any problems and would not voluntarily submit to any diagnosis, undoubtedly. But truth be told even if they were to get diagnosed it's not as if they would adhere to properly taking medications, follow through with therapy appointments etc. At least, speaking for myself, that's the case. Younger son, did adhere to going to therapy once a month but I assure you that was because it was the only way they'd continue renewing his prescription which I believe he was addicted to. I believe, no I' know for certain he was taking way too much at one time and usually was out of his medicine 1/2 way through the month. He'd tell me he was giving to others who needed them too. Not really sure what the truth was. Now, from what I gather he's self-medicating with alcohol. MJ used to be his first choice. I keep trying to remember what you mentioned...they don't like rules, they don't adult normally, don't crave independence, don't worry about us like "normal" adult kids do. I do not understand why, but I just need to "accept it". [/QUOTE]
