I filled out a form about my son too, but since he hadn't been living with me for several years beforehand, I really couldn't respond to the chore thing. I can say that when he has his own place, he keeps it tidy. There's something about living with your parents that propels you back to childhood. That's one reason he needs to get out on his own as soon as he's able.

I went to a voc rehab information session, but at the time I was in nail school, so it wasn't applicable to me.

Voc rehab here will help him go to school if he wishes, but right now he has two huge barriers to that. First, he owes the school $1800. Second, he doesn't really know what he wants to major in.

I don't suppose they do anger management courses.

He had a brief anger management program the last time he was hospitalized. I looked through the material he brought home with him and was pleasantly surprised.

I mean, resources are being allocated to him, but they are the wrong resources, a bad fit. Who do you tell? How do you arrange for a better fit? He can hardly advocate for himself. But what standing do you have?

Yeah. I've given up on the idea that appropriate resources will be forthcoming.
He has a private pdoc and therapist. The county mental health center sucks. Their "social group" consists of taking a group of clients to WalMart. Yippee! That must be fun.
They had no interest in providing him with any kind of talk therapy or group therapy.
I have tons of ideas of things he can try, but he's not willing to try most of them. And if I push it at all, even very gently, he feels like I'm trying to control him.
He's miserable, but honestly the only solutions he ever comes up with are getting drunk or getting high. Since I won't allow that in my home, we're pretty much at a stand off.
