[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 761289, member: 4152"] I’m so sorry. I’m in a crisis myself, so am a bit limited this moment. Those two illnesses together plus drugs is …no words. Very generally speaking: -I don’t think he should be in your home. -If you can speak to someone in charge prior to him going to a facility or writing a very accurate letter explaining deep concerns it might help to keep him longer. If you do it prior to his arrival or anyone seeing him..the Hippa laws probably wouldn’t have kicked in yet - A friend once told me their son got put into a facility , Court ordered, fir a month and it was helpful. A conservative state. Interesting. -If he is ever violent with you or family members even threatening …call the police. - Pray. I couldn’t pray recently snd asked others to fo so for me. -maybe and this is a big maybe, offer him a small incentive if he takes medication prescribed by the doctor. But this is tricky and limited as you would have to to pay the DR prescribing yourself, and double check the scripts were filled and have no way of knowing fir sure if he took them. - Get an alarm fir your home if you don’t have one. Change the locks if he has keys. -Go to families anonymous or al anon for support. -Big tine avoid giving him any money at all. Perhaps pay fir a cell phone number so he can call for medical care or the police if in trouble. - keep coming here. Others with more experience will be along. [/QUOTE]
