[QUOTE="Mouseyone, post: 765955, member: 22315"] Hello all, I am on the website everyday, hoping, praying for respite from my worry, racing thoughts, body aches.. I have been here for years..and my son worsens. My son has schizophrenia..he will not adhere to any program, therapy, nothing. Just one short month ago, he had everything..a place to stay, social workers..yet, drugs and bad behavior takes over. I am struggling..I have no one to speak about this to. My son stabbed his roommate..it was very serious, requiring the person to have surgery. My son is now in jail..Rikers Island to be specific, which is a tough jail in NY. He is on the Medical Health ward, which provides some comfort, yet he is still in jail. He called yesterday and said he had gotten into a fight..nothing new, my son is always angry, always combative, always ready for a fight. His public defender got his bail down..I can bail him out, however, he has lost everything..his supportive housing, social workers, everything. We are afraid of him. He is in a dangerous jail, yet, he is dangerous to himself and others. My dilemma is whether to bail him out..seeing as though he has no where to go, nothing in place. We have been dealing with this since he was 17..He is now 29..I am at a breaking point. I am so sad that he is in jail, yet, at least I know he is off the streets..but..he can also get hurt there. It is impossible. [/QUOTE]
