I have a son who is thirty. He is mentally ill with everything at the Bipolar 1 end of the spectrum. He is undiagnosed, unmedicated and not under a doctor's care. He is back at home after getting fired from his job and losing his license for five years. He worsens daily. He will never hold down another job again. He's volatile......a ticking time bomb. No longer my son or anyone I recognize. I cannot change the locks and put him on the street. It would not change or improve my life because I am as ill as he is. The difference is that I know it and he doesn't.
