He thinks he is in charge although his mind tumbles so fast he often changes subject mid-sentence.<BR/><BR/>Illinois is, rightfully, very tough on involuntary hospitalizations. I am reasonably sure after chatting with both a lawyer and a psychologist that he can skirt the edge and defeat a filing.<BR/><BR/>The involuntary rules are good ones -- we should not easily take a person's freedom nor should we force treatement on someone. Unfortunately, some folks fall through the cracks in the system and Stephan appears to be one such.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting and posting. It helps to know others are out there praying with us.<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795176.post-77042657625334464922008-10-23T07:53:00.000-05:002008-10-23T07:53:00.000-05:00Jim, I'm so sorry.

If it's ok to ask, what is leading your son to refuse any treatment?<BR/><BR/>Is he concerned for any possible stigma, or worried about the effects of the meds? <BR/><BR/>You can file a 302 petition for an involuntary placement for him, if you can share evidence that he presents a clear, and present danger to himself, or others.Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018475588969974790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3795176.post-89555133535518961772008-10-22T13:05:00.000-05:002008-10-22T13:05:00.000-05:00Personal to Two Auntees:I do not quite understand ...Personal to Two Auntees:<BR/><BR/>I do not quite understand why, but Blogger seems to have killed your post.

She has been in for almost 4 months. The psychologist thinks she is bi-polar but she doesn't agree and won't take the meds. We join you in prayer for your son and also for the family. We understand that "tough" love doesn't even begin to cover it. I know I appreciate it when I know that we are not alone in our pain.

This will probably be the hardest thing you will ever do, but you must do what you must do. <BR/><BR/>I don't know what else to say, except that I shall pray for all of you.
