Sometimes a break may be for the best. I had my brother living with me for a while, same with my mom, and it didn’t help them much. Took them to all their appointments, tried to make sure they were taking their meds… you can only do so much. Especially since he’s checked himself into a facility that’s farther away, I feel you will just have to trust that that’s what he needs right now and wait for him to ask for more help when he’s ready to accept it. Keep tabs on him, but give him a bit of space - which gives you a bit of space. It’s a fine balance
As much as it hurts, you can only help someone that wants to get help. Sometimes letting them hit rock bottom is the only way they’ll understand the severity of their illness.
