[QUOTE="janel, post: 615615, member: 17502"] MrMike. I was googling my problem with my adult son and came across this website and your posts. I can so relate. You almost took the words out of my mouth. What's the expression? Misery loves company. I obviously felt for you and your wife but took comfort in the fact that there were other people out there feeling exactly like me. My son is 33, fine one day, awful the next. I never know what I'm going to come home to, a good day or a bad day. As you said, it's like walking on eggshells. It'll be fine one minute then something will set him off. He used to go out with friends, now is very isolated. Sometimes doesn't even get changed for days. He refuses to work, it is beneath him. He has no grip with Life as a Reality. Lives in his own world. Is so critical and condescending. I'm drained and can't go on like this either. I've offered that we go to counseling and he refuses. All of my ideas and efforts for improving his 'awful' life are met with distain. I'm at my wits end and think I will contact NAMI. I need some guidance for myself and my sanity. [/QUOTE]
