[QUOTE="JKF, post: 584392, member: 12470"] I've been there. My difficult child, who is now 18, is also Bipolar and very likely Aspergers. He is not on medications because he left the group home he was in and stopped taking medications in October. He's homeless now. In a shelter bc we can't let him live here. When he impulsively left the group home in Oct and went to another state he left behind all of the services we had worked so hard for for years. Now he's suddenly back here in NJ and has no services and it's chaos. I'm so sorry I don't have a happy ending story for you (trust me - I wish I did) but in my opinion when these kids, who are so defiant and so headstrong, transition to adulthood it doesn't get easier. In my case it's 1000 times more difficult bc I can't "make" him do anything he doesn't want to do. Not like I ever could anyway but now I have no authority at all. I'm sending you lots of supportive hugs. I'm so sorry you're going through this and I wish you the very best! [/QUOTE]
