Thanks for posting this...I have a son (27) who was recently hospitalized in a psych facility, and came home with medication and has (who knows if he is still) doing illegal drugs. I need to remember that I cannot force him to make the right decisions, whether he has all his mental capacities or not. If he becomes delusional, I still cannot make him take his medications...that I will leave up to the professionals.
Huggs..Hope
