[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 729946, member: 21499"] My son is also bipolar and we went through a lot trying to get him through school. It sounds like you have done well so far navigating the system. He also has a dual diagnosis due to the drugs. They exacerbate the bipolar and make it difficult to treat them. I am sorry he has tried to ruin your reputation. Hopefully those who know you will recognize his bs for what it is. I also know that for my and my husbands peace of mind he can't live with us. So i understand this fully. He has worked at jobs and done ok until i believe he got more into drugs then he blew it. Until a few months ago i helped him with his problems and i now realize i didn't really help. My brother was heavily into drugs (clean and doing well for many years)and he has encouraged me to let him fail or he won't change, he has been there. Please read if you haven't the article on detachment and the book by Melonie beattie codependence no more. Find a Nami meeting if possible. Welcome to the site and i hope you are able to find peace.
