[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar II, post: 104710, member: 4391"] Could it be that, having run up against a brick wall on the "oh excuse me for trashing your treatment center but I would still like very much to go home for Christmas"...Stardude might be rethinking his attitudes and behaviors? He could be honestly searching for an answer (and a miracle cure~ just like we moms do) to why he behaves as he does. As it seems to have been an honest question, not an accusation or an excuse, I would give Stardude the benefit of the doubt regarding manipulation ~ although there is a better than fifty per cent chance that his comment was meant to be manipulative. He senses that you are done playing the game his way and wants you re-engaged. Did you ask him why HE thinks that diagnosis might apply to him? And we must always remember that the psychiatric has to put down SOMETHING from the DM III or IV ~ whatever version of it they are on now, in order to qualify for funding. I think it would be very good to re-read Fran's response too, Star. Whatever is happening to Stardude, he will have to learn to cope with it the best way he knows to do. I hope the lithium makes a difference for your son, Star. Barbara [/QUOTE]
