I know you are putting 50 dollars into the account, but where is he getting more?I know that everything came to a head and you had to involve the police and the courts.But the idea behind detachment is that our kids do better when forced to deal with their situations themselves, even the mentally ill ones.Your son seems to be managing and may well have begun to trust some people--because he has to. So, if this is so, detaching is already bearing fruit.He was a caged bird in the house. Yes, he had gourmet meals before and now he may be snacking at 7 11. But he is also being called upon to solve problems and deal with getting his needs met.My son only applied for SSI after I kicked him out and refused all monetary help. While this is not the outcome I wished for, it was a proactive step on his part.My son has made suicide attempts and he has had numerous hospitalizations for 5150. Still I threw him out of my house to be homeless. Because I thought it was the right thing.Feeling, I believe we could find your son. Do you believe it would be the right thing?I wish Cedar was here.She told me I could stay in bed as long as I needed to. And fall back over and over again, as much as I needed. I was so hard on myself. I still do not think I have a handle on that piece of myself. Cedar understood there would be a time when the pain lessened and I could get up. She knew I needed all of the time I needed. And more.I did not believe I would ever get better. And then I did. Maybe you even remember when I was still in agony.Feeling, I wish I could suffer in your stead so that you could have a rest.COPA</blockquote>
