[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 694365, member: 17542"] Hi Sea66, hang in there. This is where it gets really hard. When we limit what we will do, and they push and push and push and ramp up the drama. Just a reminder: People can do whatever they have to do. My son would get up off of a bench and walk to work at 4 a.m. No shower, no toothbrush, no car, no bike, no clean clothes, no nothing. He did it for months. I honestly thought you had to get a place to live before you could get a job, but once again, he did it HIS WAY. I just waited and watched and was amazed and grateful and disbelieving. Don't react to the drama. There is almost nothing that is an emergency. I learned that the hard way too. Even if they are bleeding and away from us, someone else will call 911. That happened with my son too. Anyway...I so understand. Take care of YOU. I promise you, he will figure this out, if you let him. It may not be any method we can understand, but it will be his method. And that is what has to happen for him to take charge of his own life.
