[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 635576, member: 15473"] Considering the drug use in your home and the anger management issues I would make it mandatory that he sees the psychiatrist and be on medication if he wants to return to the home. This is for his safetly and yours even if it is mental health safety. Once you get that started you can truly be able to start evaluating how he is able to function. Right now you are judging his abilities while he is in an altered mental state. Even without hallucinations if he is experiencing any form of psychosis he is not well. You would also be able to look at getting him in assisted living. Knowing that following rules is a major stressor for him I might see if there were a way for him to earn something by doing something. Instead of just yelling for him to come pick up his dishes maybe you could say "difficult child, if you will pick these dishes up I will make you a sundae." Or maybe you could offer to make his favorite dinner. It doesn't have to be food oriented but hey he's an 18yr old boy I imagine he eats you out of house and home. LOL It may sound childish but I have found with my girls it helps to avoid the anger which is the most difficult part of dealing with them. [/QUOTE]
