[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 758398, member: 24721"] Hello AOG. I don't think we've met, but welcome back! I'm here with a 24 year old in who sounds similar to yours (mental health issues, heavy use of weed) except he is living away from us right now. My son stopped seeing his psychologist when he moved out of home. He said he couldn't afford to, but that's just an excuse. We're in Australia and we get six free mental health visits a year if we visit our doctor and get a mental health plan. I offered to pay for extra visits, but he told me he was fine and didn't need the psychologist anymore. I expect that means he's also off his medication, but I don't know because he doesn't live with me anymore. I love the peace in my house but I still worry every day. I can relate to your anxiety too. I feel I need therapy but I didn't want to start while we're in lockdown - I really feel I need to talk to someone face to face not over the phone. In the meantime, I come here and find support. I have good days and bad days. I find the nights are worst. I'm practicing detaching and loving from afar. Some days that works okay. Other days I'm a mess. Is there a plan for your son to move back out of home, or is that not possible? [/QUOTE]
