[QUOTE="Camelot123, post: 665641, member: 19484"] My stepson is 26. A few years ago, he lived with myself and his father (he was living with his mother, but he would get aggressive and it scared her). Shortly after moving in, he lost his job due to mood swings and not being hygienic. This prompted him to pack up and drive to California to live with his brother. Once there, he refused to get a job. When he finally did, he was working 2 days a week and saw no problem with it. My husband just kept giving him money. He was eventually kicked out by his brother for screaming and throwing fits. He lived in his car for a while, but it was repossessed. Since then, he has been kicked out of 2 group homes for behavior and hygiene issues, He quit his job this week and hopped on a bus to Omaha for reasons unknown. His father asked him if he saw anything wrong with his actions, to which he replied, "I've got it all figured out". He is now asking for more money (it has been endless) and will not stay at a shelter. He would rather spend any money he has left on a hotel. He clearly has a mental disorder imparing his judgement. In the past he has been told he was bipolar, but he didn't believe the doctor. How do we get him help? And do we keep sending money in the mean time? Thank you for any advice. [/QUOTE]
