As a person with bipolar, I know it is incredibly hard on my husband, friends, and family. My husband just recently began to understand the disease enough to know that when I in a depressive cycle that I need help and extra support. I feel that's unfair to him and yet I've come to accept that having a support system in place is neccessary. It's also hard on my friends and husband when I'm in a very high manic cycle because I make foolish decisions and come up with all these great ideas for businesses, projects, etc. and then I go off and start one and then of course as the cycle ends, things fall apart in our lives.....again. Accepting that you have this disease is vital because unless you are willing to do that, you can't even begin to understand what it is doing to your own life and the lives of those who love you. I too would strongly recommend getting your son into a doctor that can get him on meds and also start to help him understand what this disease does to him and others in his life. It's hard and frustrating and my heart goes out to anyone who is contending with having someone in your life that is bipolar. I don't know if this helps but my thoughts are with you while you struggle with his illness and the consequences of it as well.
