[QUOTE="Paris, post: 102448, member: 4371"] Thanks for all the advice, it's very helpful. The other day I kicked him out after a really bad fight even though he doesn't turn 18 until next week. My mother told me this is the wrong thing to do because he is not mentally well, but he ended up coming back at 8:30 at night, hungry, tired, and no where to go. Even though he claimed he would be fine and that he had plenty of resources! He seems so delusional sometimes and I know that that is a symptom of bipolar, but it's scares me. Whenever he's asked about his plans for the future it's always some grandiose plan with no real substance. For example, he loves the arts, film, music, etc.. and he does do these things in his room and only in his room. We have offered film school, music school, anything! He won't do any of it, but yet keeps saying he's going to produce music and be a film maker. Instead of taking actions towards these plan he smokes pot, watches TV, makes music on his computer, and commits petty theft to fund his pot smoking. He has great grandiose ideas, but never follows through with any of them. Has anyone ever experienced this???????? He's on 5mg of Zyprexa and it has made some improvement, the problem is he keeps going off of it once he feels better. Aside from being grandiose, he seems angry, spiteful, reckless, lacks empathy, and feels entitled to anything he desires. I feel like I am always walking on eggshells. Thanks for all the help by the way! : ) [/QUOTE]
