Thanks, @goingnutsmom. My son is 23 now. He has schizoaffective disorder. We are very fortunate that he doesn’t use substances. He’s also compliant and still a wonderful young man. He lives in an apartment with a roommate - there is staff onsite 24/7. He goes to the office twice a day to take meds, so somebody has eyes on him often. His apartment is right off main street in a small town, and he can walk to the grocery store, post office, bank, etc. Every other week, I go pick up him to see his psychiatrist, who is an angel (he doesn’t charge either of my kids to see them! I guess we’re his pro bono project.). He’s on Social Security and is managing to save a little money. So he’s really doing well, although it’s certainly not the life I envisioned for him.

Thanks for the work you do! Good therapists are so important.
