Dear Cr-Abby from Frantic Mom in Philadelphia

DEAR CR-ABBY:
Our son, "Adam," is 24 and lives at home. He had some kind of mental breakdown at school -- no one will tell us what he had -- and he says he's too depressed to work or go back to school.
Adam stays in his room all day watching TV. He's on medication, but I don't think he's taking it regularly. His doctor refuses to talk to us because Adam won't give her permission to do so.
Cr-Abby, we don't know what to do. Should we let him stay in his room or make him go to work? How can we make him take his medicine? What if he kills himself? We love our son and want to help him, but we don't know how.

Dear Eagle-tte Flys Over the Coo Coo's Nest Back to Mom,

I have no idea how to help.

That said, I need to talk to you right away...please call. I had a really bad day at work and am not sure I can go on. I'm going to move in with you and watch TV and eat Cheeto's till my toes turn orange.

My Dr. says I need my rest but I'm not going to tell you why nor do I think I have the coping skills to contribute anything for rent. He gave me some meds but I don't want to take them because when I watch South park on my meds, I don't get the humor.

Thanks Mom, see you Tuesday. What time is breakfast? I like my eggs poached,...no make that coddled just like how you have coddled your 24 year old Egg head. Get his bum butt outta bed and back in the game. Life gave him a kick and he needs to learn how to take a punch, get up and move on.

Cr-Abby

PS; In the off chance that this is more than a wimp going into hibernation in mommy's cave, have him turned over to a "mental care facility" for inpatient care..let them handle the eggs.
