CB We are on parallel paths. My son goes off on drugs and Irradic behaviour and then recuperates and is back on his merry way. He has no care of the chaos he has left in his wake. He too has no comprehension of the severity of his condition.


What annoys me the most is that he is considered to have capacity to choose his health care path. Yet his outpatient workers indicate they feel he does not have the capacity to work,live by himself or mange to navigate court by himself. Stuck and sad.


My son can't even get to his alternate high school program on a regular basis.


He has episodes of psychosis from pot. And the out patient rehab works on a harm reduction model. They tell me he is pre-contemplative about rehab. Well first the rehab cycle doesn't really apply to drug addled youth and combined disorder. Second if they are supporting harm reduction why he'll would he feel impatient rehab is necessary here he will have to abstain. Finally I would like to know what a failure to launch, drug addicted teenager is. It pre-contemplative about.

 I am so tired of the fight.
