Hi, Sue. First I want to start by saying welcome to the group. I'm sorry for what you are going through. I can't relate directly to what you're going through, as it is my husband who has bipolar disorder. I'm not sure if this will help, but it sounds like your son might be manic. The sleeping patterns, aggresion and so on. Is he seeing a therapist and is he on medication? And if so, is he taking it? (Sounds like he may have stopped). If he is threatening suicide, I think you could have him hospitalized for observation. (They've hospitalized my husband in the past for this). I feel that it is within your rights to set guidelines for your son. He is an adult. If he will not take responsibilty for his illness by getting proper help, you should not have to put up with the mental abuse he is putting you through. Tell him that he cannot continue to live with you like this. (I know that's probably easier said than done). Hugs, Terri Most people don't know that there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life - Brian Andreas |

Hello, I'm new to this board...I am 46 soon to be 47, I have a 22 y/o son living with me w/bipolar...He has been out of work for 4-5 months and is doing nothing to get back on his feet....He has spoken about how he could kill me my ex and my boyfriend but says he wouldn't do it...Just the idea that he thinks of it scares me....He is talking about taking his own life...
