Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 vivian in wash. st. You must feel impotent!! I dont know how much more you can show J. that you are doing everything you can to help him!! Did the doctor consider coming to the house? I know that ours wouldnt, but others have done that with severe cases. What options did the doc give you if J. continues to refuse to participate in anything? Leaving you on the lurch seems a bit neglectful on his part, in my opinion. Is there a youth counselling agency that you can contact and begin general counselling for him? Perhaps that worker could work with his resistance to treatment? Another suggestion is doing some cbt with him. He needs to be exposed to the doc - that is high on his SUDs scale. Can you build a hierarchy with J. leading up to his being in the doc's office. Maybe starting with making appoitments to go, but him not going, only you, and then building gradually to him sitting in the car, going to the building, going inside... etc. over a length of time?? I am so sorry for you, YOU ARE NOT TO BLAME!!! ..... big hugs, wendy, in canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
