Serious situation?
amy problem is a bad one. I have one son age 46 that is an addict. He won't change and has no intention to stop. But I think he may be bipolar. I can't get him to go see a doctor and he is a bomb waiting to explode. I am afraid for my family as he says he hates us, but my oldest daughter in general. Then is brother and his wife. I am afraid for their lives as I think he is on the brink of doing something really stupid. The cops tell me they can't do anything till he does something. By that time, I am afraid he will either kill one or more of his family, or my oldest daughter has had it past her eye brows and I am afraid if a confrontation occurs someone will get badly hurt if not killed. He has a court date for theft the 10th of this month and has no intention of showing up. He is planning to leave the state and coming back around us. I can't sleep, I have prayed, I have asked the police, like they haven't been any help.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions I haven't already tried. Can anyone out there help me?

Sometimes something bad has to happen to have any good come of it. all you can do is pray for him ... give his life to jesus. You can not help me as you are just his mother. You have tried and tried! He won't listen. If something bad happens then, you can get him put some place or maybe the judge will do this and you won't have to. When someone does break the law, don't show up for court, and runs..... well it will catch up to him. Karma is mighty powerful ... what he sneds out will come back to him 10x's fold. if he calls asking for money ... tell him no. If he calls from jail don't except the calls. If he does call tell him your true oppinion and don't hide by saying things are alright. He needs to hear the truth and be made to understand he has to help his self now. Don't let him move back in. He has to answer to the wrongs he does. everyone does not just him. Sadly enough the police can not do anything until he has done something wrong.
restraint order could be an answer but, would not stop him if he wanted to come by. If you rmemeber the show the goodson? She had to make a choice to save her nephew even if it meant letting go of her son. I would not lose sleep over it. When and If the sistuation is to happen , it is then you must act. By then it will be clear what you must do. Maybe he won't come around! Maybe you can get your house sold, moved away and won't have to make any choices. Rememeber you are where god wants you to be for now. Maybe you can get moved and won't have to worry about him harming your family. Or them harming him. He sounds like he is on a self distructive path and only Jesus can help him ... alll he has to learn to do is ask!
good luck!

We can be of little help here, however I would suggest you find a NA/AA meeting in your area go there and asked for help you surly will find it. Please do what I suggest. I am now in recovery for a long time because someone did the same.

It sounds like the only thing you can do is an intervention - or your family can try a restraining order.
Good Luck.
