[QUOTE="mindinggaps, post: 764238, member: 29823"] [USER=32289]@MandaC[/USER] I think the advice and guidance you have received from both [USER=22840]@Deni D[/USER] and [USER=31976]@laugh[/USER] is superb. In particular, this analysis is very interesting. However, one thing that I think must be emphasized is regardless of the background, his behaviour is certainly consistent with some untreated mental illness. Speaking from direct experience as someone who has exhibited similar behaviours, it may be very hard for you to make progress unless he is treated properly. As Deni said, you are not a caregiver or therapist and at this stage and it is reasonable to set boundaries saying you cannot support him unless he is getting treatment. You can of course support this process by giving rides, finding doctors, and encouraging the use of mental health supports. But if he is unstable, any form of forward progress will be challenging.
