if you know he does crazy thing like break into your room and take things even when you door is locked would you throw him out? if he went down the street and told your next door to everyone and told them they are going to hell just out of the blue would you send him where he was before you were helping take care of him? which was out of town with other family members.

if his actions cant be controlled by meds , then you really dont have any choice but to have the guy out of your house , he sounds like he may be potentially violent or at the very least it makes your house an unsecure place to be . He is stealing and bad mouthing you to the neighbors , he would be out in a hot second . provided meds cant help him and talking to him honestly does no good .......you have to protect your life and mental well being also ......good luck

I do have a family member who is bipolar. It's my brother and when he's on his meds he acts normal, but when he doesn't take them I can't stand to be around him because he's so off the wall. I know that one day I'll probably be responsible for him because he is my younger brother and my Mom isn't healthy...he currently lives with her. Make sure this family member takes his meds every day and he will be more stable. Rather than kicking him out and wondering where he is or if he's alright you may seek help from the local Mental Heath facility. They may be able to give you some advise on how best to handle the situation or a place for him to go where he will be well taken care of. Good luck to you. Don't be afraid to seek help.

Well, family is family. I think you need you to find out from a doctor what is medically wrong and see if medication is needed and if it is okay to have them live with the rest of the community.
I also have a family member that is not all together but, our situation is different. I could not see sending my relative away unless there was a life threatening situation to them or me.
It is hard that is for sure. I hope your neighbors understand that your relative is not right and not to take offense.
Now that I am reading your question again, no I would not throw him out, even if he was taking my stuff.
I wish you luck, it is hard to see a member of family suffer everyday. Good luck.

Sometimes, you just have to be patient and understanding. I know that he is doing things that embarrass you. However, perhaps it would help to let your neighbors know that he has a mental problem and if he bothers them in the future, please let you know. You may want to check into a facility that will give him a psyche evaluation. Perhaps they can get him on some kind of meds or in a treatment facility that will meet his needs. There is no reason to feel guilty about this. You are taking steps to ensure that he gets the best treatment possible and at the same time, you may just be solving a problem for your entire family. Good luck!

Go before a judge, and have him civilly committed to a mental institution. If the judge orders them into the institution, there is no way for them to get out - until they are "fit" to return to society - as determined by three psychiatrists. They are locked in. If they voluntarily commit to an institution (check themselves in), they can leave whenever they want.

It really doesn't matter what I would do. What matters is how you feel. Not everyone is able to care for mentally or physically challenged relatives. There's no need to feel guilty about it. If there is another family member better able to deal with this person, then perhaps they should care for your relative.

he is mentally ill but do u love him and treasure him in ur eyes as a family member?If you do,do u want to try tolerating his actions for some more time? i think most importantly,u should still try ur best to be understanding and shower him with all ur care despite him knowing u care for him or not. If all fails,sadly,u do have to send him to the appropiate place for treatment:(

I'm not sure...on tv I heard them say that the retarded rule the night, but that's not true...no one rules the night.
just kidding.
Seriously, DO NOT let this person stay with you because he needs more care. The other family members might need a break from him, but social services can help him.

I would probably try it a little bit longer and tried to explain to him that he shouldn't do things like that and if after a while I couldn't handle it I would take him back.

Nope I would put him where he can be taken care of 24/7 where he wouldn't be a threat to himself or others.
