[QUOTE="It'sbeentoolong, post: 722538, member: 22245"] The restraining order on my dual diagnosis son to stay away from my house has worked so far. He hasn't returned since Friday. This a.m. he called from a hardware store and started talking about his delusions "I really can control the government......" He wanted to come home to take a shower. I said no. But I told him I would bring him some food. So I did. He was by a creek. I brought him food, a warm jacket, and 20 dollars (since I have his SSI $). He wanted me to take him to the liquor store or to the neighboring town where his "camp" is. I declined on both and drove away trying to drive away negative feelings with by breathing. I have done this part of the cycle before...bringing him food and money, and it's way better than having him in my house. But I'm not sure this is not just more enabling. [/QUOTE]
