[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 190414, member: 3444"] I have to echo Smallworld's points about BiPolar (BP) kids and their behaviors. When unstable, they absolutely do NOT have control over their behavior and are COMPLETELY overwhelmed by their emotions. As for being manipulative -- I think all kids are to a certain degree, and it's part of the maturation process. Some are more so than others. Some are better at disguising it. The outward blame is typical for many kids, even "normal" ones. I think it's just the "normal" ones who mature faster emotionally than our difficult child's and catch on sooner with understanding their part in their own circumstances. I think it has to do with being self-aware. That's just my own perception of things. I have no idea how that gets labeled in the psychiatric world! So he gets to come home a day early, right? I'll bet he's just as ecstatic as your husband! I hope the transition home is smooth and that he's able to get back to school soon without too much difficulty. I imagine the sooner he return to a regular routine, the better. [/QUOTE]
