I would ask the therapist what he/she thought my options would be in this situation and then got from there. Best of luck to you, and I wish you well.

Unfortunately if my brother were in his own place, I would stop by one day, and he would be dead from drinking, and a fall. I have told my therapist all about my home life, and she is working on helping me to learn how to handle my home life, and working on making time for just my self. Right now I have a worksheet for my daily moods, automatic thought, distortions, and rational responses, Cognitive Therapy just to start. I have so many things to work on, but my therapist told me to slow down, bc I am a do it now type. So I am trying to do things her way, and so far she has helped my thinking about things, but it does take a long time. I have been seeing her for over a year, and I though I would have taken care of most of my issues by now, but I have just barely scratched the surface. I have a long way to go, and a lot of brain changing to do.
