Was thinking of popping this into the PTSD thread but it didn't feel appropriate somehow. Just wondering if anyone has any advice for me?

My daughter has such a lovely boyfriend and they are very much in love - but it's still relatively early days in their relationship.

Sadly, he has just found out that his mother has brain cancer and is naturally devastated, as is my daughter. My daughter is good and kind and understanding and I know that if anyone can help him through the days and months ahead, she will. There is a complication however in that he suffers from bi-polar disorder, controlled with medication - and in the year he's been with her, he's been very good at not drinking and taking his medication.

My daughter thinks in the last couple of days that that may have changed however. She's not sure if it's because he's stopped taking his medication, or if he has started drinking whilst on the meds, or whether she's just being paranoid and he's just in an understandably dark place. They don't live together as such, but do see each other most days and she doesn't know what to do. I think her instincts are telling her that they should perhaps move in together and that way she'll be able to keep him focussed on staying well himself.

She's asked my advice and I don't know what to tell her :(

Not easy Annie.

Most important is no pressure.
She should give him some time, much love and understanding because it could be kind of depression based on his mothers illness.
Even tough she should make sure its not getting out of control.

You give good advice Mike :) Thank you. I will tell her that.

Children ask such difficult questions don't they? :/

Yes they do but its better to ask the parents it means they trust us.
My kids are aware i have no limits.
Much better than asking qusestionable individuals.

anniet, This can go to the other thread if you wish.
My wife and I both know Bi-polar freinds we grew up with. When they take the meds they are fine. But the thing is they decide at some point I dont need to take the meds anymore, I feel great. And you can guess what happens.
It makes it a living hell for the other significant other.
I can only say that both of you should read up on Bi-Polar.
My wifes friend is now long since divorced, My friend died back in the late 80's. They dont know if it was suicide or an accident, Pills and alchohol.

Hi James :)
It's okay for this to stay here I think... though... if things were to pan out perhaps in the way you described above :( ...I could well end up dragging it over to the PTSD thread. I truly hope of course it doesn't. My daughter's boyfriend (prior to their meeting) unfortunately does have a history of attempted suicide - which is tragic as he is such a lovely young man. I've had some really good advice given to me in the last few days, which I have passed onto my daughter, and as you have suggested - we are both finding out as much as we can about bi-polar.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond :) Really appreciated! :)

Thats what us parents do anniet. We share tips and knowledge and wisdom taught to us by our years on this rock:)
