  • I would think that a lot would depend on the reason you were homeless. If it was because of illegal drug and alcohol abuse some family members may feel that you need to learn a lesson and find help for your problem. Paying a price for your runaway addiction may force you to seek help. If that shoe fits I'd suggest you wear it. Crying about it is not going to make the problem go away. Facing up to your own bad choices and dealing with the consequences in an adult manner will.

    • No its not because of drugs or alcohol but poor financial decisions due to bipolar.Manic spending sprees etc. My children would take me in but i really would feel guilty and awful to impose on them. Definitely my siblings would not, they always made me feel like crap and even though they're educated don't understand bipolar and view it as a choice rather than an illness.

      • In that case to look into in-patient mental health facilities before you wind up in an even more difficult situation. Lack of funds will be of no problem. Any local hospital will have a social worker available on a one one basis to help you in a private, respectful matter. I suggest that you investigate this as soon as possible. There is help waiting and available for you. I love you and good luck.
