[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 735564, member: 13303"] We have learned a little more about the current state of things. YS is apparently very popular with females, sleeping with those who will allow it, threatening to stop taking his medication because he "feels fine", and arguing with anyone who tries to enforce limits on his will. His current girlfriend is from a very religious and overprotective family. We have not met her. We are told she is refusing YS' advances, for now. Hopefully she will continue to do so as an unplanned pregnancy may be very dangerous for her and probably for YS as well. Her culture practices honor killings among other less extreme forms of cruelty toward young women who have sex outside of marriage. We are told by his therapist that YS' interest in sex is so overwhelming and all-encompassing that it is concerning, even given the fact that YS is a teenage boy with raging hormones. Perhaps this is an expression of mania, or even a symptom of brain damage. He has still not seen a neurologist. Therapist agreed this is a necessary step. Hopefully this will be made to happen. We are told that DS is not harming YS which was one of our biggest concerns. YS continues to hold firm on his stated wish to not have any contact with us. We expect no movement there for the forseeable future. YS now claims his attempt was "in the past" and therefore not worthy of concern or discussion. It is also clear to the therapist that father is a big part of the problem. Father is very codependent and enmeshed with both boys particularly YS. There continue to be no limits or consequences. We know nothing of DS' life at all except apparently he has a girlfriend too, whether it is on-again off-again with the young lady we know, or someone new, we have no idea. We are totally and utterly powerless. On the one hand it is comforting to be free from the drama, on the other is the pain of exclusion and of being unable to do one thing to help YS. [/QUOTE]
