Dealing with adult son with mental health: Parents want to share?

@riverbendab I’m sorry you are going through this too. Is your son taking any medication? Are there shelters there in Calgary he would go to in order to be out of the cold? Here in our town in Wyoming there is one but they only let you stay a week. Wyoming is very bad when it comes to mental health care. I think we are going to move him back to Colorado for better resources

@bewildered he stopped taking his medication last year. And just self medicated with other drugs.
With the cold right now, he is sleeping at our place. He goes back to his tent during the day when it warms up a little.
He won’t go to a shelter. He believes they are dangerous places. The government will find him there.
But I do sleep better knowing he is here and not freezing outside
