[QUOTE="rosanna-d, post: 725177, member: 22599"] Thank you for the reply...I should have written more but was using my phone, so will try here :). It's not only the depression/anxiety that he is dealing with, he also has physical health issues that have caused him to now lose 40lbs (He's 6'1 and a string bean already). He worked steady up to 3 years ago and has slipped further and further down. He came home this past June in the hopes of getting his health on track, however there's been no improvement. Been out of our home now since November 1st. He doesn't drink or do drugs to self medicate. As a young boy he suffered with depression and anxiety and was treated for those plus ADHD. So many are trying to help him. His Dr, his girlfriend, me...I am trying to come to terms with my role in this and am back in therapy myself. It is so frustrating...I see so much of me in him at that age, except I was still functioning...working, raising a baby, husband, etc. This young man who has outbursts is not the son I know. And we did call the cops. Where we live, they won't charge them right off the bat..they will take them to the hospital for evaluation. He had already left and taken himself to the nearest firehall, where they called an ambulance and took him to the hospital for his hand. We tried to get them to keep him under 48 hour observation for medical reasons..even our Dr called the hospital...but when my son is calm, he presents himself very well and they couldn't see a reason to keep him...that is super frustrating.
