Please clarify the statement that "he was in the lower level of 60"... You note that he is on pills, I assume not prescription? But you also note that he has been diagnosed as ADHD, ADD, and bipolar. If so when and by whom? Does he take medication for these conditions. If so what medications and who furnishes them? Where is he residing currently, your home?

Does he steal money from you, or do you give it to him? (You mentioned that you are broke.)

Is there no psychiatrist or social worker in charge of this case?
