[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 760513, member: 24721"] Welcome Pink. You will find many of us in a similar situation here. I have a 25 year old son who is mentally ill and can be verbally abusive at times. We’ve had several possible diagnoses, including anxiety, depression, bipolar and Borderline (BPD). Like your son he goes on and off his medication. Sometimes he’s fine but other times he’s selfish and impulsive and suffers from mood swings. I have much more peace in my house since he moved out. I have turned myself inside out looking for the cause of his illness to no avail. He is my biological child. I am happily married to his father (for 27 years now!) He was planned, wanted, much loved and has been given every opportunity in life. We have two other beautiful sons, who are hard working and high achieving. I tell you this because if you’re anything like me you will be deep down harbouring some guilt and asking yourself what you did wrong. Sometimes the answer is nothing. Some kids are born with mental health disorders, just like some kids are born with other medical disorders. Whilst trauma can be a cause of mental health issues, it’s not always the case. I think this is something that is often forgotten and can make being the mother of such a child very isolating. Being the parent of a child like this is exhausting and depressing. I feel your pain. I don’t have the answers - I wish I did! I’m any case, I hope it helps to know you are not alone. [/QUOTE]
