[QUOTE="Paris, post: 116235, member: 4371"] Okay, I guess I should clarify. He's terrified of growing up and refuses to look for a job. He is without a doubt bipolar, so I'm not sure if that's why he won't work. He won't share his feelings with me. I'm afraid he'll end up on disability, in a mental hospital, homeless, or robbing a bank! Yes, these are my worst fears. No, he has never done anything like that. He doesn't go against his consequences. If I tell him he can't take the car, then he won't. My son has been very sheltered throughout his life. He is NOT street smart. That is one of my fears too. If he has no skills, no education, then how will he possibly survive out there in the real world???? Also, when he is manic he gets VERY angry. He has never hit me or threatened me. I think I'm more afraid for him. Again, how will he survive in the real world having a manic episode like that? [/QUOTE]
