[QUOTE="Karenvm, post: 580624, member: 15766"] Hi. The visit went well. I met first with the therapist, who was excellent. We then met together with difficult child, which also went very well. He was not angry with me, and treated me well. Even got a hug and kiss goodbye. What he is most sad about is the living situation,and other kids in his "house". The group has kids with significant anger issues, among other things. He said there are frequent fights. My son is more of the quiet type, and I guess he feels he does not fit in. He has been doing a lot of reading. He said that during the week its better, because they go to school most of the day. The weekends have a lot of down time, so he is bored. I also found out that he actually did NOT have any sheets on his bed! I was a bit angry about this, and mentioned it to one of the counselors, who was surprised. I dont know if Sean never mentioned it to anyone or not, but they apologized. I brought him a new set of sheets and told them I expected them to be on his bed tonight. Other than that, the visit went well. I know that by having so much structure right now is good for him, its what he needs. The therapist really feels he has bipolar, which is what we have been told before, but none of the medications he tried made a difference (likely because he stopped them too soon). She was talking about trying lithium, which is supposed to be very good for bipolar. Thank you all for your support! I do feel better after I read your posts and responses to mine. This is a crazy road that only those who have been on can even begin to understand! thank you. karen [/QUOTE]
