Hey everyone I love my son2 like all our family do but sometimes his moods are so violent and aggressive. If it wasnt for his medication I would be the target, I wouldnt last for long. Just needed to get it off my chest. pea 😞

Yes @Shaz51 he was doing so well (so I thought) he wanted to go to hospital has come out on Tuesday after a couple of weeks with different meds mania and a not so nice persona. Pushing boundaries and all of my buttons. I cry all the time (not in his sight) and life is miserable. Just want him to want to help himself.

Yes I definitely will. I told his Dr in hospital I wasn't happy and it wasn't my son but it fell on deaf ears. @Shaz51
When he has mania he's not reasonable and I can't talk to him about meds. He's out at present by himself and i feel like my heart is about to explode from stress. It sounds terrible but if it does then I'd get a break a least.

Adult children in mania are very difficult. The services have many devices and extra people to manage these things. When carer is mother, there is only ourselves.

Such a horrid week with phone calls from my daughters friends telling me she is sleeping on the streets and looking very gaunt and confused. She won't speak to me. It's been 2 weeks. I found out a location and called an ambulance but they didn't take her in. Then Friday night another call saying police had spotted her and called ambo and is now in hospital. As she is 26 she is considered an adult and won't give them permission to discuss her situation with me. Still refusing to talk to me over the phone and won't allow me to visit. Don't know what's going on and feeling so bloody helpless. This law of not allowing to discuss the mental health of your child is absurd. Totally in the dark once again but a little peace knowing she is being cared for. So hard to get on with things. Stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment.
