I have the same situation with my nephew 21 had a head trauma as a baby as is really about sixteen in age. He is now after doing some prison time, i a halfway house for the next 2 years, best thing that could have happened to him. We all tried everything with him. He continued to drink, break in to places and all the same stuff. Sometimes you just have to pray and let go and thats all you can do.  |

You can not be responsible for a 21 year old in which you have no control...Send him packing as much as it will hurt you. You will be helping him.  |

I can see what your going through. I have a step-brother who is mentally disabled having to do that his the mental capability of someone half his age, he is 24 and acts like a 14-15 year old. His violence got a little out of control when he started burning up trash cans in school, and getting in fights, even at home, he got mad and banged the iron into the wall making a huge hole!It was hard on my mom, but from then on he got sent to live with a family that takes care of people that are like that, and he is doing better, taking medication, he doesn't live far from us, so we see him every so often. I'm just glad that he is doing better. Have you talked to someone about his behaviour? If so maybe you can get help for him. I know my step-bro takes medication which calms him down, and it works very well, though I'm not sure what its called. Best of luck to you ReginaBean with your son. *hugs*:)  |

Have you contacted the police against the guys that beat him up and maybe let them talk to him? does he have a counselor? maybe it is time to seek outside help. sure tie him to the chair if ya think that will keep him safe...lol....no sorry. ya cant really do that:( I am sorry as it seems that you may have a load on ur plate right now and this is not a laughing situation. I hope you fidn the help you need. there are also a lot of different programs that help mildly disabled peeps in group homes or work fields. might want to look int he yellow pages. good luck  |

I don't know...since he is legally an adult, I don't see how you can put him under house arrest. More than likely, he would rebel against your attempts to control him. Maybe you should talk to him about going into behavior modification therapy-- i.e. someone should work with him on learning more constructive ways of dealing with anger and difficult situations. It sounds like he could use a new group of friends, too, but, unfortunately, that's not your say...  |
