I have been walking this road with my 42 y.o. son for three years now since he was first sectioned, trying to help him but things seem to be getting worse instead of better and I am now fast loosing patience with him. No matter what I say or do he takes very little notice and there seems to be no reasoning with him. He is severely depressed but is content to stay in his own little world and does not try whatsoever to help himself. He sees his mental health team monthly and has an injection to help him cope with his condition but won't seek help for his depression. He says they can't help him and he won't go to see his doctor either.
I am banned from contacting either his MH team or his doctor as he says it's not my business what goes on in his life but, at the same time, he spends at least 10 hours each day at my home helping himself to whatever food and drinks he wants as he can't be bothered to look after himself at his home. I am sorely tempted to limit him to the time he spends in my home but know if I do he will be completely on his own as he has shunned everyone else.
He says he has attempted to take his life recently and if I contact anyone he will do it again.
It's like being held to ransom and I just don't know what to do anymore. I have brought up 4 children and have always known what to do for them but now I feel so helpless to change the situ. I don't know what to do to be right.
Any advice would be gratefully accepted
