Hi Everyone,
I am the mother to a 22 year old boy who struggled with ADHD and anger while growing up and as time has gone on it is apparent that he has Bipolar Disorder. He is always angry. He has changes of mood from moment to moment--he thinks he will make millions (he is unemployed due to anger problems) one minute and then he becomes depressed and angry over so many things. He does not believe anything is wrong with him. I was on this site for a short time many years ago due to problems with school and Learning Disability (LD). I homeschooled him, but he didn't do well at all. He blames me and others for everything wrong with his life. I am tired. I need advice on how to get him to admit to his anger issues and know that he needs help. I have called the police on him before. I think he is soon to go to jail for fighting as his anger is escalating towards others. If he goes to jail I plan on leaving him there--one, no money and two, he would be guilty I have no doubt. He is very immature for his age. He lives in our finished basement at the moment. He gets frustrated with me, but no violence yet. I think he will have a very hard life for himself, no matter what. Do they ever figure out they need help before they end up in jail or other? Thanks for this site. I have been a lurker off and on for years since my son got older.
