[QUOTE="Wish, post: 738353, member: 23140"] I just went back and read some of your responses to the other members overcome mom and saw that you said that he only admits to ADD and nothing else. [B][I][U]That is a serious problem.[/U][/I][/B] People who refuse to believe that they have a mental illness or in his case, refuses to believe he has more than one, are 100x more difficult to help. Might as well just say impossible. Overcome mom, that would be [B][I][U]my big boundry with him[/U][/I][/B]. If he refuses to admit that he has other serious mental problems and doesn't start getting serious about gettig help for them, then I would say do not help or frankly, do not communicate him period. Start with that. I have known people like your son over the course of my lifetime. Start now with that boundry because he will never admit he has other mental illnesses. The longer he is allowed to get away with saying he doesn't have other mental illnesses besides ADD (which like you, I know is very real), the worse he will get and faster with age. By the way, he does not need a lawyer to apply for disability. Most lawyers won't except clients who are applying for the first time. They only take on the cases when they get denied and usually don't require a payment if they believe the client is entitled to it. They will recoup their costs when he gets his back payment. [/QUOTE]
