What I mean is: responsibility, responsibility, responsibilty... who WANTS that anyway.
Maybe he's not altogether happy about moving out, maybe he's just transitioning.
Just because he seems negative doesn't mean his depressed, and if he is depressed, doesn't mean you did anything wrong.
Just trying to offer an objective opinion without running rampant through the psychiatric route first.
Idk what you mean by his T being judgmental, sometimes people who are blunt and straightforward, come across this way.
Maybe the T is the latter and your son respects that? or maybe he is actually judgemental, either way your son doesn't seem to mind his method or manner.
Essentially its really about whether the T and patient are compatable, and not about parental approval.
I do hope he gets out of this funk soon and find some direction.

Thanks for that perspective. I feel his T is judgemental towards me, haha. I shouldn't let that interfere with their relationship.
Also his therapist works with a lot of foster children. So he's always telling my son, you have a lot of support so don't play that card. He also tells my son, is this it for you? Sleeping all day and not doing anything bc the world is f***ed up? My son laughs and says I see ur point.
I baby him, T doesn't like that. Man time to let him fly. I just don't want to see him hurting. I've threatened to kick him out to see if that will motivate him doesn't though. Time for HIM to make some decisions. That's what everybody keeps saying. Stop babying him bc u feel guilty for being bipolar. Hard to do though and my family thinks my son uses that to his advantage.
