[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 721232, member: 4152"] I'm so sorry. Our daughter has this illness as well and there have been many rough years. Consider weekly counseling if you are not going already. Ask around for someone good. This is a difficult and draining life circumstance and not everyone will totally understand. Read materials on detachment. Since he is older than 21 it is time to let go, although profoundly difficult. If he was willing to get medical help and/or work with you honestly and appropriately this might be a LITTLE different. Seeking support from NAMI is an excellent idea. I also like the group Parents Anonymous. I went to a few mtgs. I would say the most typical "child" of people in my group was ages 20-30, Bipolar and using drugs. Our daughter , thank the one above , wasn't/isn't a drug user, so I didn't stick with that group in my community. Your community group might be slightly different. But I noticed the commraderie was outstanding. One person told me if the group met on Tues and Tues happened to be Christmas, they still met. They met no matter what. He said "these parents are hurting badly." I totally get that. [/QUOTE]
