[QUOTE="joysheph, post: 708488, member: 21496"] Thank you for your reply. I love the term coming out of the fog. Fear, Obligation, guilt! I will remember that. About a month ago he was diagnosed with bipolar depression and he was not taking his medications. He was self medicating. I was so Fed up to the point I lost it. I was angry, yelling, said hurtful things to my son. Just sick and tired of this roller coaster. Needless to say, I work in a psychiatric facility and coming home to him I was losing my sanity fast. End result he had hit me in the arm. Police was called and I demanded a psychiatric evaluation. He only stayed 6 days and was released. He showed up on my porch. I was fearful of him cause he has never hit me before. Police had said what's going to be next? Advised me I need to kick him out now. As a nurse, I feared his mental illness and being homeless. How can I do that as a mom? This is where I need help, support and advice. My marriage has never been happier since he has been out. I focus on my other adult boys and step daughter more. The dang guilt is hanging over my head. How can I move on to happier days when my first born son is struggling with mental illness and substance abuse? I'm so glad I found this site. [/QUOTE]
