[quote=Anonymous]OP, your son sounds very similar to mine. 3 years ago he was hospitalized for drug induced psychosis. Attended
Mission for Michael, then out patient Sandstone and lived at rental they provided.

Michael was great, Sandstone was ok, the livin option was terrible because his main issue was depression, not drugs.

He came home, it was rough first year.   we insisted he do therapy and no drugs. He did therapy 2x week, went back to drugs, another hospitalization, then back home.

The third hospitalization the doctors diagnosed him bipolar II. Got him on proper meds and he’s been stable since. He has a job, a nice girlfriend and will start community college this Spring.

My point is depression is horrible and it sounds like your son is self-medicating. He needs a loving home, but you also have the right to insist on boundaries. Get him in therapy, get yourself in therapy or better yet, individual for him, family for you, dad, sister.

It’s a lot of work. I hope you the best.[/quote]
