[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 732142, member: 21499"] I hate to say it but the Legal System is not always helpful. There is mental health court where he can be sentenced to treatment or a halfway house and if he is not compliant he will go to jail. There are residential treatment facilities others here have had better luck with that process. However if he does not want the help chances are he is not ready to change. It is up to him to make the decision to change, he has to want it for it to work. He may need to hit bottom and suffer the consequences of his decisions for that to happen. We have all been there and it is not easy. Your roll in this is not to enable him so he is able to feel the consequences. I am so sorry you have the need to be here. You said that he has some mental health issues. If wherever he was treated didn't meet his needs you need to seek help with someone else. It also might be helpful to go to NAMI for support and information and some counseling for yourself. Good Luck. Just a side note you may need to start your own post so that others will be more likely to respond. [/QUOTE]
