my son that 31 now was laced at age 17 still to this day i cry everytime i see him, he was a good student math awards. Now he won't bathe his body he pick up cigarette butts from the street, he get his owe disability money his father is his payee so he make sure he gets him his cigarettes and food, clothes ect.. i can't understand what makes him pick up butts from the st. also he has been caught eating from the garbage by his caretaker where he lives even tho there's food for him, he does still take drugs i don't know if it's crack or not how do you get a person with these problems to go to rehab the sz makes it harder i know people without sz have a hard time to clean their lives up to but even when he stay in the mental inst. for a long time he still come right back out and pick up my heart sits with pain always i don't know how to be a normal mother to him anymore or deal with this we barely let him in our house but we still make sure he safe and taken care of. Now that my husband retired we want to move to a different state we don't even know what to do about him he really act like he can't completely take care of his self it seem like he got worse over the years, he also walk away from the places that took better care of him and try to live on the streets. He be out the mental inst. this week maybe you can help me to understand him and avice if you know what can be done that maybe he won't reject. Halima
