[QUOTE="color me confused, post: 494466, member: 13510"] Thank you for all of your words of wisdom. I have to tell you that reading here is what made me call al-anon. The lady I talked to said it is a friends and family meeting. I'm looking forward to going to the meeting. I'm supposed to go out of town with my friends for a girlfriends weekend, leaving Friday but i'm afraid to go...worried about what will happen while I'm gone. I will go because I need the time away. Both of my sons are also bipolar but they refuse medicine, heck, they refuse going to the Dr. the last few years. The oldest understands he needs his meeds but won't do it. The youngest says he doesn't have a problem, that we are the cause of his issues and his doing drugs. I sometimes believe him, but other times I know it is not our fault he has chosen to live his life the way he has/is. The guilt is awful, I feel like since I'm bipolar it is my fault they are and they don't know how to handle it. The youngest refuses treatment for his drug problem, says he can quit when he wants to but doesn't want to quit. The oldest I think could quit if he has a reason to quit but he hasn't found the reason yet, I'm sorry I'm rambling, I didn't sleep much last night and it is catching up with me. [/QUOTE]
