[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 766278, member: 18958"] Oh my. The last thing I am is a tough cookie. Why not think about asking your son to leave? It's your house. He's legally an adult, isn't he? Why should you leave? You're asking me here if my son listens. Yes. More and more. It[I] [B]is[/B] [/I]his choice to make. My son's life is his own. Not mine. Your sons' lives are theirs, not yours. This is lesson number 1. I had a very hard time accepting that. My son receives money from the government for being mentally ill. He has for 10 years. He initiated it. I didn't. I have had difficulty accepting his mental illness. But he is seriously mentally ill, although my partner thinks he's manipulating. But really, that changes nothing. My son is responsible for seeking and accepting help. He's responsible for doing whatever it takes to live in a socially acceptable way. [/QUOTE]
