[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 615785, member: 7170"] Hi Jakesmom just want you to know thinking of you today and hoping you & husband can manage to have a peaceful holiday. It's hard when have a family member with unstable/untreated mood disorder, unstable doesn't take the day off for any holiday. The fact he is still able to convince others that you are the one with the problem tells me he isn't so far down the drain, that he can't pull it together when he needs to. I don't think you need to worry about getting him admitted somewhere right now as in today. Everything negative you say to him or about him will probably come back to bite you at some point (at least has with me) and any contact with your parents rather then "feed" this conflict you might want to simply state that you love him, are concerned for his welfare but with him this angry with you you aren't safe sleeping under the same roof with him. They still probably won't get it but you don't come off sounding like threw him out on a whim but had genuine concerns. I keep thinking about you because your son sounds so much like the way my girls were before we found the right medications for them. Do not underestimate this illness or put safety on hold for a holiday. The anger your son is feeling right now is toxic and if keep interacting with him it's not helping him stabilize and eventually he will explode. I really think it might be best for everyone to stay in neutral corners until things calm down. I'm glad your husband is there to help you and also your parents could give him a safe place, neither of which were options I had when going thru this - if it wasn't for the people on this site I doubt I would have made it because they were all I had.
