[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 711881, member: 1550"] Your son is doing what adult children do...moving out, which is healthy, getting a job, which is great, and taking his bipolar into his own hands, for better or for worse. If he wants to use pot instead of known bipolar medications, if he is over 18 you cant stop him. Unfortunately I have read that 60% of all people with bipolar dont take their medications. I could never figure out why. I think it is helpful to believe strongly in a higher power. I do too. Perhaps trust God to watch over your son. Let go and let God is something I used to say to myself. I found therapy and Al-Anon very helpful when my daughter used. Dont be shy about taking care of your own needs and reaching out to others. Many of us found that a lifesaver. You dont have to do this alone. You're an important person and its impossible to mother grown kids forever. Time to do nice things for yourself. You earned it! [/QUOTE]
