[QUOTE="DorianGray, post: 232239, member: 40477"] This is a complex psychological issue very, very similar to what we experienced with my oldest son. Similar also, in some respects to the son of a close friend, who called two days ago reaching out for help for him. I feel your pain, BigTex, and then some, we've been through it all. Labels are put on like, bipolar, mild autism, but few treatments lead to a concrete solution. Medications which they take for awhile then burn out and refuse to take, counseling which some attend, others refuse. What seems like a normal child early on, changes into adulthood and the symptoms become worse. Every case is different because in reality, it is a "spectrum" of psychological conditions, unique to each individual because brain wiring cause is as unique as fingerprints. This is why doctors have no cure. The only case management I have seen to be effective is another friend's son. Dad (mainly), had to take charge of his life, which he somehow managed to do in a subtle way, where he was allowed to. Moved son into their house, got him to accept therapy (after going through three psych drs.), makes sure he takes his medication, drives him to the gym (the son likes to work out so that was an "in" for dad). He gets SS disability for his son (adult now) plus additional $ from state to be his caregiver, writes off the room in his house for that purpose (a legit IRS deduct.). The main thing is for you to talk to as many professional people in the field as necessary to find out how to approach your situation. And it will be step by step, incremental, backwards then forward. In my friend's case, he told me he had to worry about finding his son hanging in the garage, battle his hiding booze places in the house, not taking meds, up and down roller coaster of anger and violence (and this is a big strong kid). Hang in there, BigTex, it can be done. [/QUOTE]
