In reply to helping my son to understand his illness, posted by shareb on April 16, 2006, at 13:20:01
> my son is 31 and lives at home. He refuses to admit he has an illness, how can I make him understand? What can I do to encourage him to get out and do things?
I'm not too sure. I'm 24 and I live at home too. For me, I'm afraid of heading out into the "real" world. If someone made it very easy to me to go out, I would be more likely to go out. Follow the path of least resistance...
If my parents spoke English and could help me get a job and find my own place, I would be more likely to leave my parents place.
Maybe try helping him... Help him out as much as you can until he's able to do things for himself again. Maybe once he starts doing things, he will feel good enough to continue without your help.
