[QUOTE="TheOnlyMe, post: 225959, member: 4515"] I agree, but also agree with the socioeconomic experiences as well. My son grieves the rejection from a non involved dad, and a G-ma who is a racist and always tried to buy his love, yet she always used fear as her way of discipline. While I had my first BiPolar (BP) episode, instead of supporting me while hospitalized, she lied to me and told me she had a protective order against me and kept him from me for 8 months and continually told him at 7-8 yrs old, if he did not mind she was going to call the police and they would take him away to a foster home. I just recently found out she had NO legal right to have him cuz she filed the motion but it never went to court. She would also put down my decision's as his mom. by the way I am adopted as well. Then I also think the bullying he got from other kids, from a young age also has affected his social interaction ability, as well as the NO tolerance legislation in schools in TX. He would never through the first puch but when he had took all he could take with the harrassment or his perception of it, they say his eyes turn RED when he is fighting at school. So he has always been confused about defending himself due to equal punishment and no SS intervention as to the events leading up to the explosion and no at those times he would not advocate for himself, due to peer pressure of being called a "snitch". I do believe the studies which show some illness are definitely genetically passed from one parent or the other to the child. My son got it from both sides, where as his dad's immediate family self medicate and with drugs and alcohol. His dad has no perception of time and never been diagnosis. Both of his dad's parents died in their 50's from affects of alcohol. One of his dad's sisters is incarcerated for "crack". So to end this, I think GENES are the predominant issue but some life situations can have some affect to the intensity as well as the severity. Yet I must say that he has overcome a lot and has wisdom and common sense beyond his biological age. [/QUOTE]
