[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 170187, member: 1550"] Hi. Well, this is my opinion as one with bipolar. You HAVE to take your medications or you'll NEVER get on your feet. I wouldn't trust an unmedicated person with bipolar to not blow every dime so I would not send him a dime. Once he runs out, then what? I would want him to take his medications and try to make it on his own. If it had been my kid, he wouldn't have gotten the money for court costs--my kids break the law, they have to pay for it out of hard earned money. Is there some reason why he can't work? If not, he can flip burgers to help pay the rent. You will have to do what you think is best...but I sure wouldn't give him the money. If he gets his "free" money from you it's no different from being on state assistance. He'll expect YOU to fund him for the rest of his life if he's not motivated to go to work on his own. If he is VERY ill, then perhaps he NEEDS to get a disability check...good luck. [/QUOTE]
