[QUOTE="Tregoe, post: 716638, member: 22162"] My son is 29 years old. Was diagnosed with bi-polar as a teen. Has not been diagnosed as an adult. He moved out of my house when he 18 and into a home with my sister, her family, and my mother. By then I had put him through many medication trials and a year at a behavior camp, all of which didn't help him. His main addiction is marijuana because it "helps him be able to deal with life." I can tell he also suffers from social anxiety. He did have his own place for about 2 years, but ended up loosing it. He's been in and out of relationships, but they usually end violently. He does have an 8 year old son, but has no contact with him mostly because the mother doesn't want him interrupting his life. I definitely get that. I do have contact with my grandson though. At this point, my son had been living in another state with my mother for about 6 years. Mostly it has been my mother supporting him cause he can't mentally or physically deal with a job. He's been in so many fights that his body is a wreck. She moved back to my state about a year ago. He stayed and moved in with a friend. Fast forward to now. Things with friend finally hit rock bottom. He gets a ride back here with his two dogs and all his issues. She is living with my uncle due to having taken care of him and her sister. Her sister passed away 8 months ago, but he is in poor health so she stayed to continue his care. Now my son is here. I can't help him. She wants to, but her money is not going to be able to do that again plus she has responsibility with my uncle. He's currently staying in a hotel with his two dogs, but that ends tomorrow when money runs out. My husband, his step dad, would never allow him to live with us and frankly, I could never do that again. Course that kills me. Any help or suggestions on how to help him, or my mom, or myself would be greatly appreciate. We are in Delaware. [/QUOTE]
