This would advice would actually be somewhat reasonable if it wasn't for the fact that 1) she's alcoholic & bipolar, 2) you live next door, 3) you have qualms against ****ing up people's lives more than they already are (which depends on how you're pursuing this- i.e., getting her drunk so you can get laid).
As it is, unless you like the idea of your son being around crazy and learning that women are cumdumpsters for men to manipulate, AND you can afford to move when not if the **** hits the fan, don't (any more).

Poor sentence construction aside, I agree totally. Also, I'm not certain that he could move far enough away to escape the wrath of a bona fide Crazy***** (TM) who's been jilted.
Just a few possible scenarios that occurred to me in the past half-hour:
*Chick shows up at Kid's place of work (which is a school, IIRC!) screaming and throwing a fit about how he did dirty things to her
*Chick bones some largish dude she meets somewhere else, starts talking crap about Kid to him, gets him and several of his Frigidaire-sized pals to rough up Kid
*Chick gets knocked up (by Kid or someone else) and files paternity
*Chick rolls herself down the stairs, goes to the police and says Kid did it with a rolling pin
*Chick tells Kid's kid about the terrible things daddy did to her while crying uncontrollably
*Chick goes for broke and hangs herself in Kid's house while he's away
Now, all of those possibilities assume she will follow the "Sylvia Plath" victimhood school of vindictive craziness. It strikes me as most likely, given her bipolarity and gender--a bipolar man would be more likely to beat the snot out of Kid himself. However, we need to bear in mind that we are talking about a triple threat here: it's unwise to take ANY woman lightly, but one who suffers random, violent mood swings and is dependent on a mood-altering substance? The sky's the limit. She could do something more like Tiamat's "son-in-law" Pond Scum, wrecking or stealing his property. Or she could get a gun, or something more pedestrian. And he doesn't even have to consciously jilt her for her to get nasty; she's bipolar, and has the amazing power to read offense into anything. Plus she is quite likely to mess up his life just by being in it, without trying at all.
In conclusion, Kid needs to wake up and realize what an awe-inspiring screwup he has committed, and extricate himself veeery gently and tactfully from the relationship. Assuming he can. BE AFRAID, Kid.
