[QUOTE="kat913, post: 731650, member: 22998"] Thanks GStorm but I have become very weakened. Seems my son may be schizophrenic. If I had an inkling before he turned 20....perhaps I could have gotten the right path for him....but as we all know...we do the best we could with the info we had. Now I don't know what to do ....other than I know shizophrenics can be violent (I already know a story in my town where a loving mother was stabbed to death by her adult son.) I really don't know what to do...he has nowhere to go. I called the hospital he had been at and laid it out in a VM stating that if they had an inkling he was schizophrenic (and there is no longer a release for them to speak with me) then both myself and my other son are in danger. They never called me today so I guess they can't help unless he wants it. His psychiatrist saw him on an emergency basis yesterday (he went by himself) and later on i caught up with her because she keeps treating the symptoms (she is so adamant it is Bipolar Disorder for the past 17 yrs.) I tried to have her open her mind a bit to all that has been going on and I know she was very baffled by his behavior and will see him in a month or sooner if needed (since i have always been going with him,she has no problem still speaking with me....I just had to go to work....couldn't let his problems interfere again.) If he is Schizophrenic or Schizo-Affective....what do I do with him?? The police will not help (unless he is suicidal...which he knows to say no....or threatens me and take him to jail but in this town you have to evict your adult child legally thru court. So, he has every right to come home....even the police were encouraging him "Buddy...don't you just want to go in and go to sleep". So, today I am very discouraged and lost my strength and the only idea I was given by a friend was if he threatens in anyway, call the MH crisis line...they have a crisis team and perhaps that would get him what he needs....some longterm help and proper diagnosis and peace and restoration for me.
