Feeling heavy - adult child due to be re sectioned

[Ragingoverlife]

No advice needed really. I know the drill i know what I'm doing I just can't shake the guilt.

Become an over night carer for my son. He has severe mental health problems but is turning into a revolving door kind of patient.

I manage all of his affairs I've got him accommodation, benefits, pip claims. Just hoping this is the final time. This time will be a section 3, so a longer stay the first 2 were so traumatic for him and me to watch

Has anyone been through this with their child?

I don’t have any experience of this however have had three years of a sibling in and out of phycosis and it’s terrifying and I really feel for you as a parent seeing this and being out of control of the situation

a massive hand hold from me op.

it’s so draining

I work in a place where people on section live. A team approach can be hugely helpful...

I've got some good support from the mental health team I have a good relationship with them. I'm usually their first point of contact (son gone awol and I'm the only person with eyes on him as I'm pretending that I don't have contact with them.

He's recently been awarded PIP. I can't even tell him as it's not safe to give him the cash incase he books a flight or buys lots of drugs. I'm also right at the beginning of trying to get deputyship. It's so hard! All I want to do is to be able to talk to the dvla on his behalf not sell a mansion haha.

Thank you for the hand hold. My family are sympathetic but I don't think they get the full picture
