[quote=Anonymous]I’m so sorry OP. You’ve been on quite the journey. I’ve worked with families in similar situations. Safety first. If you feel genuinely unsafe with him having access to your home, trust your instinct. Also, it sounds like you have come to a peace with his autonomy in making his own decisions (even if they are not wise ones). That’s a difficult place to get to and honestly, loving to both him and yourself.

Do you have a therapist? This would be helpful in helping you maintain perspective. If he’s living nearby, you’ll have to make a lot of decisions about how your interact with him and it would be good to have your own emotional support as well as an objective person who understands his condition and can help you navigate it.

If you want to actively help him, you can offer to assist him in finding mental health professionals that accept his insurance and offer to make an appointment. You can tell him that offer is always on the table if/when he is interested. [/quote]
