well i met a sister today.
unfortunately, she is a sister in the sorority of mom's of mentally ill children. her untreated bipolar daughter is now cohabitating w my quite unstable son. i recently kicked him out of the house, and he pressed her to let him move in w her, even tho they only met recently.
it was an hour long, mostly very depressing phone call. as it happens she has a degree in psychology, which she got sort of in self defense to try to understand her daughter.
she finds my son quite frightening. i could not argue.
there is a 2 year old child involved, and that is not going well.
he is quite out of touch w reality. my efforts to get him help, as often happens, have been in vain.
most disturbing thing- he was apparently arrested recently. driving at 3 am, likely speeding. had weed in the car, and decided to try to evade the cops. considering everything that all of us know about out of control cops, and how paranoid he is about "the system", i have to wonder if he wasnt attempting suicide by cop.
it was comforting to know that there is someone who is there to try to limit the damage that he can do. i hope she succeeds in protecting her daughter and grandson. i will do whatever i can to help her.
clearly this kid has to hit bottom before he gets any help. he is getting damn close to the bottom.
shit shit shit shit shit shit shit.

'it was comforting to know that there is someone who is there to try to limit the damage that he can do.'
Some 'crap' happening here too, re: older daughter. There's something 'in the air,' and this too will pass.
Hoping your son gets the help he needs.
