[quote=Anonymous]OP What state are you in? Most people in this situation look into group homes for persons with mental illness. The stress of taking care of your now grown up brother is very, very hard on your family, particularly your parents. My sister works in this field -- there is still so much you can learn here. The above ^^ (getting involved with the day to day of a seriously bipolar individuals) is too much over time. In a group setting meds are taken or else, and the person learns that. Also, being mentally ill does not mean that the person is not able to be manipulative, childish and a drive you crazy brat. Again, over time, that takes a tremendous toll on the family. GL.
