[QUOTE="Jacquelina2, post: 689177, member: 19882"] Karisma, I was just about to post about my 23 yr old son who is schizophrenic and has bipolar disorder. After reading your post, I didn't have to because your discription of your son is also mine. My son is homeless too, refuses to take medications and will not accept that he's ill. I feel emotionally bankrupt at times because he is the light in my eyes. I've been praying for him everyday. I'm trying to slowly detach by loving him at a distance and not allowing his refusal of resources and support affect my anxiety. All I can do is simply continue loving my son and feeding him occasionally whenever I see him. You have to continue to shower your son with love. I'm afraid to turn my phone off cuz I always want to be available but in reality, my son isn't going to change until he's tired of being tired It's almost like he's content being homeless. Just don't enable him and what I mean is ... giving him money, taking him to and from appts, etc. [/QUOTE]
