[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 241096, member: 1631"] Daisy-I think the reason this time of the year is really hard has to do with his Bipolar. I remember one time in March his psychiatrist saying that the hospital is full this time of the year with bipolar patients. Also I had a student for a long time with Bipolar. After winter break is when he would start to struggle more as well. K-Thanks for the hugs. When husband isn't here it's harder-specifically the incident last year when I was driving and he got violent. When I'm at home, I usually can get to a room where I'm safe. Luckily, due mostly to medications-I think, he doesn't stay ramped up for too long. Gvcmom-We had come home from work and on Fridays he knows we usually rest a bit. I was trying to tell him that we would even let him watch tv a bit (he is so dependent on people for everything that when we wanted to rest we felt that this would be a small comprimise for him). He got upset because we said no to the computer and then he punched me in the arm and tried to get the book. Now due to the violence we had to tell him no to the tv. I figured I would have to get up and not rest but we had to send the message about violence. Then he continued to threaten and husband said to remember if he continued the violence there would be no wrestling because it would be stop the world for tomorrow. He again tried to grab the book and hit me once so husband told him no wrestling. That really set him off and led to the rest of the stuff. Linda-I don't know if they'll extend the services. The inhome will probably end and they are the ones who have access to the respite. difficult child's caseworker for the special program he is in that goes until December is working on trying to find other respite services. I agree he hasn't begun to internalize it. [/QUOTE]
