[QUOTE="Michelle809, post: 737892, member: 23299"] Thank you all for "listening". I have found that even just typing it out on here is cathartic. There is next to no one in my personal or work life that understands this situation. After the repossession episode and loaning the 2k a few weeks ago, I stopped paying his car insurance. I know that's something I should have done a long time ago, but I think we all know that we have to get to points like that on our own time. I have mostly gotten over my intense fear of him committing suicide. He and I have talked about that several times and I know I have no control over him doing that or not. Still wish he would want better for himself though. I'll have to figure out what to do about this weekend. I would like to see him, if nothing else to let him know I love him. His sister says when they talk he just says that no one would understand what he's going through and that he's mad at himself for disappointing everyone. His lease on his place is up sometime in the next month, but I'm still very hesitant on him living with me. There would have to be a strict no lying/stealing contract and I'm not so sure if either of us can hold up to our ends (him not stealing/me kicking him out). His plan was for military maybe in January - I think he will probably have some permanent record by then that will prevent that. New Leaf - no diagnosis. My thoughts were that my brother went through a similar stage around that age and came out of it around age 19 and I just thought it was a teen phase. I know for sure he has depression, but my gut tells me it is situational depression due to his circumstances (not totally sure though). I may look up some counselors through my insurance to give to him this weekend if I see him. His ex-girlfriend never contacted me back so I'm not sure what her texts were about on yesterday. Who knows. They both obviously have some issues, but she seems to be slightly more stable than him. So thankful for my oldest daughter. I have 2 younger daughter's still to go through the teen age, but hopefully they will follow older daughter's path instead of their brother's. I look at them now and think there is no way they would ever do those things, but I know I felt that way about DS as well. [/QUOTE]
