[QUOTE="jude-in-nj, post: 666609, member: 19508"] New member here.. not quite ready to share full story yet of my son (23).. too much to think about and to put into words. But I will give a brief shortened history. Son has been troubled since age of approx 13, so we are going on 10 years of dealing with Difficult Child. Diagnosed with Bi-polar aprrox 3 years ago, anger management issues but has never raised a hand at me. Has had a tumultuous relationship with a girl that I can only describe as being exactly like him in personality.. bad combination. There have been multiple domestic incidents on both sides, him and her. He violated probation (an assault charge almost 3 years ago) and violated probation again not even 3 days after court appearance. He is now in jail. Possibly the worst jail in the country. Bail has been revoked, he has a court date on the 18th. I am exhausted dealing with this.. I am soo happy I found this site, seems like lots of support and good advice here. The calls from jail are killing me, emotionally as well as financially .. will have to put a stop to it. already up to $200 in less than 2 weeks. and the calls are all the same... "get me out.. I can't do this... do you think girlfriend will wait for me.." He is looking at 3-6 possibly more years. And I hope girlfriend does NOT wait for him.. I hope she dissapears. Not that my son is innocent but she is a major part of the problem. She has had numerous assault charges against him but has never been sentenced to jail time. I have 3 younger boys aside from Difficult Child..all easy going. I have been happily married for 25 years. It would take me hours to write down complete history. thank you for any advice/support [/QUOTE]
