[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 747421, member: 18958"] Hi Helpless I'm in the same position as you. I cannot make my son do anything that helps himself or helps me. Any change that will come for either of our son's will come from their own learning. Right now the Court is acting as your son's guardian, in a sense. This is not so bad, because they will not play. If son does take his medications, there will be consequences. If he does not speak to his father to arrange a home, there will be consequences. Your son right now is trying to do a magic trick, and blaming you when it fails. He knows that he cannot go home to you. You have no control here. You have no power and no options. His Dad has made himself available. Son chooses not to work anything out He will stay in jail as long as he maintains this, most likely. What can you do? Not a thing. I would continue speaking with him but without any expectation that you can do anything to work out his problems. I wonder if the Court will consider a foster home if son continues to refuse to work with his father. Does son know that this might come about? [/QUOTE]
