[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 190070, member: 1545"] My first thought - is he being treated for his bipolar disorder? Until that happens - you are not going to be able to help him. Is he drinking/doing drugs in lieu of real treatment for his disorder? When you mix a mental illness with chemical use/dependency the waters become so very muddy. I wouldn't give up on your son. Not giving him money or a place to flop is not giving up on him. Continue to love him, pray for him, encourage him. While you do so - also allow him the chance to learn from his mistakes. Sorry you're going through this. Sounds like you've got some good detachment skills. Better dust them off and prepare them for further use. [/QUOTE]
