[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 623899, member: 17461"] I love this. What a sweet family you must have, Wavering. I am so sorry you are all going through this, and for how alone you feel, yourself. Here is my input: For whatever reason, your son isn't thinking the way he used to. That is the problem. That is the thing we need to change and medications are not an option. So, one of the best ways to change how we think is to work with animals. Could you require that he volunteer at a shelter or an animal rescue as part of your allowing him to continue living with you? I'm sorry Wandering, but I don't see a good outcome if he is without family just now. He is so young. At the same time, something needs to change. Whatever it looks like to us, he isn't willing to take the job he was offered. Volunteering would at least break the current pattern. If you could get him thinking and feeling differently about himself through helping someone else, that could be a starting point. Then he could begin, or could reapply for, the job. Cedar [/QUOTE]
