[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 619787, member: 7170"] Lots of good advise from the other moms, I agree that if doing well at parents house I wouldn't interfere with it. Wanted to comment on the thought of possible bipolar; often people with bipolar get diagnosis'd with depression because when they are manic they feel top of the world so don't go to doctor. Mild mania often doesn't look like mania at all. If he recently stopped an antidepressant medication cold turkey that alone could cause mild mania. My kids developed bipolar as children but I know many adults with bipolar (a few unmedicated) The adult ones who don't take medications only cycle a few times a year, a young child with same disorder will often cycle a dozen times before lunch. I would praise him for his efforts and hopefully he will find a job soon, a small town is a better placement in my opinion. Do advise your parents that if when they get up in morning he hasn't been to bed yet this is a big red flag. If he gets a job and stays up for 3 days memorizing the company manual and every component to everything they make or sell... another big red flag. But would go along with the others in the thought that if it isn't broke don't fix it. Take what you can use and dump the rest. Nancy [/QUOTE]
