[QUOTE="Tmejia, post: 700593, member: 20909"] My 22 year-old stepson has recently been diagnosed with Bi-Polar, PTSD and depression. He has been living on his own but would only have minimal contact with us until recently. Now, he is without a job and has been living with his girlfriend's parents. Over the last month, we've given him over $500 (which has severely stretched our budget) to get his car payments up to date. We told him that he could live with us for up to a month - IF he had exhausted all other options for living arrangements. We wanted him to be pro-active into finding a place to live on his own. Last weekend, we had to call the police twice because he was out of control and threatening in the presence of our daughter and our grandchildren. After that, I am not comfortable with him moving back in with us. But - the guilt has set in. He texts us constantly telling us he feels unloved and that we've deserted him. I do not know what to do. I can't understand why his case worker can't be more helpful with disability and finding a place to live. Our son just tells us that there's a waiting list for everything. I feel that he's not trying to help himself - he just wants to focus on his condition and nothing else. [/QUOTE]
