[QUOTE="Star*, post: 217930, member: 4964"] Hi, Dudes Biofather is BiPolar (BP), antisocial and a true sociopath, his biograndmother; on biofathers side was also BiPolar (BP). Three uncles and a great grandfather on his bio father's side and one aunt were BiPolar (BP). One Aunt on his biofather's side was schizophrenic. His biofathers father while smart has his own problems too - not sure what, not BiPolar (BP), but antisocial for sure. Despite all this genetic ca-ca we are seeing improvements in Dude but it has taken a toll on us mentally, physically, financially, emotionally. Spiritually we're okay - except for the occasional "Do you have me God?" comments. Whatever your grandson is diagnosis as. Do you think that this is something that his father will be open to accepting AND committed to handling through learning and therapy/medications/placement if it were to come to that? BEcause there IS a chance your grandson with proper and life long treatment can change the map in his brain. I believe you can change their thinking and logic and chemistry. I've read enough and seen enough to belive it. I'm not talking a total 360, I'm only talking about life-managed behavior. I think with a LOT of supports in place you can do this for him. I know you wanted to more than anything otherwise you would not have said you wanted him. AND it's not a reflection on your parenting so don't think that you did or didn't do something here. YOU ARE A FANTASTIC G'MA...and your grandson is lucky to have you,but.....he is who he is and he has limited coping skills and that's going to take a lifetime to teach and change his behaviors. Do you think maybe THIS would keep him from going to his fathers to live? I really think family court should mandate his treatment. Hugs for your rough day - I hate basket holds.....and I did get a broken nose, and a near concussion twice. Star [/QUOTE]
