[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 694721, member: 13303"] Hi there, Sorry you are going through all of this. My 15 year old stepson is also 6'5" and threatening. I know firsthand the terror that accompanies anyone trying to deal with a mentally ill, unstable man-boy of this size. If I may, and please forgive me if this is either presumptious or breaks house rules here, please consider visiting a meeting of AL-Anon and/or Codependents Anonymous. Meeting lists can be located online. You will meet others dealing with similar issues who are learning how to keep themselves sane, stable, and even happy in the midst of the chaos and insanity caused by our loved ones. You are overly focused on him and not focused enough on yourself. Your son is an adult and all of the hand-wringing, worrying and wheedling will not change him one little bit, as you have already learned. As hard as it is, he is choosing his demons and you will have to decide whether or not he can be part of your life in this condition. Hopefully he will eventually stabilize and improve. Remember that this isn't forever. [/QUOTE]
