[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 737807, member: 21499"] I would like to reply to adalay first. Your situation is similar to mine my son is 36 and have struggled his whole life. He is diagnosed bipolar and has used many drugs and his drug of choice alchohol. He has called me every name imaginable. He has thrown things broken things and threatened me. I will be the first to admit that i worry about him because of his diagnosis but have heard and looked up many cases of people with bipolar who are successful. He needs to reach a point where he realizes he needs to accept help first to the addiction then the bipolar. In order for him to come to that realization you have to stop helping him. I agree with others if you can't shut your phone off at night because of other concerns block him or see if your phone has a do not disturb setting where you can choose whos calls come through. You set the time it begins and ends. If he starts getting nasty hang up and block. If he threatens call police. It is hard to deal with but he might get clean in jail. If he threatens take out a restraining order. Threatens suicide call police. I am not a fan of the legal system but sometimes it is all we have. Get yourself a therapist you feel good with. Do things you enjoy. Exercise long walks help me. Take classes for fun. My son has also refused to get out of my car, pull into a police station or get out of the car take the keys and walk away somewhere public. When mine was being an especially big pain. I had a spot by a lake about an hour away where i would go watch the sailboats. If he called i said i am not in town and quit taking his calls. If his girlfriend threatens call police you would probably be doing her parents a favor. Do not give him money and do not go to him if he is being belligerent. Prayers are with you. [/QUOTE]
