Hi Julie,
My son, age 33, is bipolar and has made bad choices/decisions. I have tried to assist him over the recent past. The issue is how do I tell whether I am assisting or enabling. I am looking for appropriate support organizations or resources to guide me.
Can you advise me?
Thanks,
R
Hello R,
You can look into the family to family program at NAMI- if you go to www.nami.org you can find a location near you.
My book Loving Someone with Bipolar Disorder is for couples, but it has great info that you can use as well – the issues of caretaking are the same.
BP Magazine at www.bphope.com has a lot of info for families. I write a column for each issue.
My family uses my Health Cards to help me. They are life savers. You can use them yourself whether your son participates or not.
I need to write a book completely for family members!
These are resources here in the Us. I will find some more worldwide organizations and post them later.
Julie
