[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve got an adult kid in a similar situation but not as chaotic. I would definitely take the car away. Try to learn about resources from local NAMI participant parents.

I do think in 20 years we will be embarrassed at allowing the mentally ill to be homeless and “free.” It’s a terrible overextension of personal liberty.

Johns Hopkins has a schizophrenia center if you’re closer to Baltimore. Call![/quote]

I have no idea how to take DC's car away without causing extremely meltdown, fight and police intervention. I will look into JH Schizo center. Thank you for your suggestions.[/quote]

Different PP here who did take the car away. What we did was have him buy the car, financed through us, and provided him with information on how to get insurance. He paid us for the car but has not been able to afford the insurance. It kind of sucks for him because his car sits in our driveway. Fortunately he’s compliant with not driving without insurance. And we took the keys until he gives us proof of insurance. [/quote]
