Yes, I'm faimiliar with all this. But none of these doctors are my son's doctor. Medication is the only treatment offered here. I had to vigorously refuse medication on my son's behalf.

We're talking about find people who will support me, not people I have to argue with to get a hesitant agreement. And the best I can get is hesitant agreement. I finally had my sister agreeing that I was "doing the right thing" for my son. Then when he flipped out a week ago, she said I could spend the night at her house. Then when he showed up at midnight, she wouldn't let him stay because he was "dangerous" and she had other people to protect. So I had to get up and drive home with him, even though he was clearly calm at that point and we both could have been allowed to sleep until morning.

Frankly I don't need fair weather friends. I don't have the energy for it. It's going to be a rough trip, and I need people who aren't going to throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble.

My mother just keeps asking when his next appointment at the mhc is. She's freaked out by him talking to his voices. She doesn't even have to see any acting out so start wondering out loud why he isn't taking medication.
