[QUOTE="Paris, post: 103546, member: 4371"] Argh!!! You all were right! He won't leave!! He did not go to school (his first day of the new program with the IEP) so I told him to move out. He would NOT leave. Last week I had to push him out and lock the doors, but he ended up coming back at night and like a wuss I let him back in. Besides being bipolar he was diagnosed with Aspergers, but I'm skeptical about that one. If he is so ill, then I don't know how he has friends??? They all party together and commit petty theft, but he is the only one that does not work or go to school. If he's healthy enough to score weed, steal, and party, then isn't he healthy enough to try and get an education or work? He got a drivers license, although it took him 7 tries (for the written part), he finally passed. Doesn't that mean he is somewhat capable? I'm so confused. I sent him to his dad's too, but he ended up coming back that time too. I agree with making him follow the rules or leave, but is this the right thing if he is not mentally well? And how do I know how much of it is the illness and how much is the pot? I know he is bipolar for sure, but does this disorder make you incapable of living life? Paris- 40, single mom difficult child- 18 tomorrow! Bipolar on 5mg of Zyprexa when he will take it. easy child- 15, girl, no problems : ) [/QUOTE]
