[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Substitute “depression” for “cancer.” Keep everything else in the post the same. How would you answer, OP and others?[/quote]

So, the person is refusing cancer treatment, but is presumably creating a situation in which the parents must take care of the person...until they die?

I think the refusing treatment is the key element in this discussion, regardless of the disease in question.[/quote]

Well, in that first scenario, would you really kick out the kid?

Also, getting treatment for cancer is much, much easier than getting treatment for depression. [/quote]

We have one side with pretty bad aspergers. It’s destroyed marriages, parent/child relationships, employability, anxiety, depression, lies, excuses, delusions.  It’s a nightmare and many without it cut off most ties. The other half live in a small silo in their house mainly. One or two wives stayed in it (husband and sons  with the hfs asd) and they are shells of their former selves.  It’s almost like they are all insane now and impossible to talk with, go to dinner with, or do anything outside the house with.  None got therapy as children or adults. Only the current generation had neuropsychs and diagnoses, on the way to divorces.  [/quote]
