[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 573642, member: 13542"] I'm sorry JKF. Perhaps a way to look at this is that as he progresses further into his disorder, the symptoms he is experiencing, although so difficult on you, will help the professionals diagnose and better treat him now. If he gets into trouble and goes to jail, aren't you in contact with people in the system where he is who can assist him if that were the case? Sometimes things escalate and appear to be worse, but what is really happening is that things are getting clearer and then different choices can be made to help. I've experienced that so much with my difficult child, each step is hard but we gain more information, more insight, more of an ability to assess the big picture and find solutions even when it appears to be so dark. I hope the social worker finds help for him soon. I imagine you will be sharing your new information with the social worker and maybe this information will give them more access to services. It's so hard to be on the sidelines as our difficult child's are caught in their mental illness or substance abuse, I understand that. You've done such a good job of detaching and you've got a good handle on your "old" self, hold onto those positives as you walk through this next step. (((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
