[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this isn't some failure to launch story or someone who is clinically depressed...

OP said he had multitude of mental health issues, including possible schizophrenia... If he presented as a danger to himself or others than an intervention would be absolutely necessary.

Other than that, it is something THEY need to navigate and you need to BUTT out of cause you have no idea. Saying something like you are thinking could END your friendship since you don't realize how insensitive you are coming off and don't get how hard this most be for them.

If they had an adult child with Down syndrome living with them would you say the same thing?[/quote]

[b]Agree.  OP has no idea.  Butt out.  I had a cousin with severe paranoid schizophrenia and a best friend whose schizophrenic sister currently in her 40ties has been living with her and her family ever since their parents died 20+ yrs ago.  Be supportive to their younger son but it really isn't your place to suggest that their older son should be sent into a residential program.   Butt out![/quote][/b]

Could not disagree more. If she sees a change that can be made, and truly believes encouraging him to go to inpatient therapy can help this kid, why shouldn't she speak up? If she is that good of a friend, YES IT IS HER BUSINESS if she genuinely cares about this person and her family's well being.[/quote]
