Just a quick hello. I try to respond to members' posts when I feel I can offer some comfort or experience. My situation is the same. Things at home have been pretty good lately - the troubles in my marriage tend to mirror the troubles we are having with my stepsons.
We have not heard from either child. We know that YS' school year ended and he is now learning to drive. This information, from his father as YS is not communicating with us. Also from their father, we understand that DS remains jobless and is not working on any schoolwork at the present time. He seems to still be enrolled at his online school, but he's done nothing since winter.
YS allows my wife to be informed of his progress in therapy and his medication status. The doctor tells us he is stable and his medicine is not being adjusted at the present moment. Still no verdict as to bipolar vs unipolar depression. Now they say that if he has another manic episode in the next 12 months, his diagnosis will change to bipolar.
Wife is going to meet with YS' therapist privately to discuss things. This is much harder on wife than on me, obviously.
Love to all.
