This has been a long journey for this young man, and it is not over yet. He has lived on the streets and in shelters for months as anyone that took him in took the chance he would steal from them. I cannot have him here, he is damaging to my daughter. He has been violent to her, stolen from her, defames and destroys her self confidence. All her young life she has lived in his shadow, as the child with needs had to come first. Doctor after doctor, med after med, treatment after treatment, to no avail. If he had not be out of here for a few years, she would not at all be who she is now, a fine young woman, with a strong moral core and a beautiful fine humour and strength.
My heart breaks for him, each and every day. He still does not get it. I feel so lost as to how to help him. He now has a room in a boarding house. We set him up with dishes, all the household things you need to be in a place, sheets towels, furniture, etc. And then we went to see him a couple weeks later, all was still in the contianers we brought them in. He has appointments to get help, he does not go to them. He is stuck in one spot and blames the world and most especailly his parents.
He has pchsycosis the doctors say. He was in the hospital, but they could only keep him for 72 hrs and then he signed himself out because he could not smoke. Against all advice. Each day I try to put this on the shelf and let go and let God. It is very hard.
It is so hard to see a silver lining to this black black cloud. I fear someday they will call to let me know he is dead.
What can we do? ...what can anyone ever do if the person they want to help will not take it.
...it is very hard.
pray for him.
