    I have a son who suffers from Bipolar disorder. He is now 37 years old. He is in jail for violating his probation. When he is in a controlled situation like jail, he does not bite his fingernails. That is the only time he has ever had fingernails. He has two personalities; one gets into drugs, alcohol, and ugly things; the other is a sensitive sweet loving person who hurts so very much from what is happening to his life. He thinks that he is so unlucky and God does not love him. Is there any place where he could find a situation where he could have work and some sort of life in a protected, guided environment?
