Mamabear-
Yes I do have a relationship with my family now and my life is far better than I every could have dreamed.. But I went through hell to get here. I was thrown out of my folks house. (With good reason.)
I ended up putting myself though college. I paid for everything, no loans. It was very difficult, but as I look back, it is one of the things that I am most proud of.
It sounds to me like he maybe embarassed about admiting he has a problem. After I was diagnosed with depression, it took me a long time to come to terms with it. I still struggle with that fact.
I support the actions you have taken so far. Although I understand your concern about how he is dressing, but I think that maybe college students today. At this stage, what matters is not his dress, but his actions.
Although I am not a big meetting guy, I would suggest you find a support group for yourself and your husband and maybe call around and see if there is a group that is geared toward young people.
I wish you all the best.
