Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My 26 year old son has a very volatile open relationship with a girl and they are basically friends with benefits. Her family does not like my son and forbids his access to their home. Due to some situations we got to know that she is seeing someone else too. As a result of which, the girl is asking our son to contact the other man to tell him to back off, my son has been threatened. Now we are concerned about his safety. My son has become obsessed over this girl and due to this there has been distance between us. He is not ready to listen to anyone and sometimes acts like a child. We do not know how to handle him now. We are worried because he gets depressed and we are concerned that there are chances he might hurt himself. Because of this problem, our relationship has got affected. We did take him to a doctor, but not of much help. Please help us with some solution. Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is better that you are concerned about your son and you want to keep your family together. It is a good sign for a healthy family support. Though from your account it seems that your son have a risk taking behavior, which is evident as he repeatedly get involved in such volatile relationships. Also he shows at times temper tantrums as well. In such case he had developed few personality traits which are difficult to change. As personality is very difficulty to change once it is formed however it can be modified by proper intervention. In your son's case a detail assessment is must to reach any conclusive statement and before deciding for the type of intervention if required for him. Meanwhile what you and other family members can do is show an adamant behavior towards him. You should never give up on him. Keep motivating him to quit all such relations and to focus on his future building. You have to be friendly in your approach.
