i cannot imagine how awful this is for the both of you.

how do you think he'd react if you got on that plane? it sounds as though it would be good for him to have someone around, but you can't make him do anything, all you can do is be there for him. is there any way he would sign a consent form for you to talk to his docs and put some pressure on that end?

i don't have kids, so i can't fully relate to how you're feeling and it's been awhile since i was that age, so i really can't say how i would have reacted to my mom intervening. but it does sound like he needs more help than what he's getting.

my love to you both
