[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 710840, member: 1550"] I'm so sorry this happened. Your son is homeless but not helpless. He can choose to take his bipolar medication and stop using drugs. You are the one who is helpless because you want to help him, but you can't. You can't make him take care of himself. Only he can do that. Yes, you love him and it's hard to see. But he could not talk you into being homeless and not addressing your own issues or takin street drugs...And you can't talk him into anything either, even if you feel it is best for him. He does seem like he could be manic, but he obviously is not being diligent with his prescribed bipolar medication and who knows if the street drugs are contributing to this mania? Rock bottom,? It is different for everyone. Some don't hit it, it seems. Others do after we gave up thinking it would ever happen. There is no answer. Hopefully soon. Again I am so very sorry. Remember that there is one important person you can control...Yourself. Be good to yourself and remember that your son is doing this to himself. You are blameless. And kind. You deserve to live a good life, even if your adult son is struggling. [/QUOTE]
