[QUOTE="Pepper., post: 761398, member: 28601"] Thank you for the replies. I’ve read them all and appreciate the advice. We are looking into hiring an interventionist to guide us through the process of helping our son. We spoke with her on the phone this morning, described our situation and she told us she is very familiar with these types of scenarios, where the adult child harbors strong animosity towards the parents and is abusing alcohol combined with schizophrenia. she advised us against getting a restraining order because then there will be a legal reason we cannot engage with him. And he will have a permanent criminal record. I don’t know about this. My husband still thinks his claims are not serious. And he has mellowed out the past few days with threats now just swearing at us or telling us to stfu, etc. I realize my words sound like victim mentality! I do. We’re waiting to find out how much this will cost us. I’m not sure we have any other options right now other than to just sit and wait, doing nothing. If anyone has used an interventionist, I’d love to hear feedback. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
