[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 363251, member: 3388"] Terry, So sorry you're going through absolute HE77 with your difficult child!!! It brings back horrible memories of what life was like when difficult child 1 was living at home. I can relate to so much of what you've said. I think you've been given some excellent advice. I agree with what Trinity said about the medication. Until difficult child 1 was properly medicated, nothing we did to try to change his behavior helped at all. He never learned from natural consequences, therapist, psychiatrist appointments, etc... in my humble opinion, the combination of bipolar/Aspie is particularly tough!!! Like Trinity's difficult child, difficult child 2 is only motivated by pleasure/pain. I don't think he has the ability to see life from any other angle. I think difficult child 1 is better at hiding his true feelings and really does, at times, try hard to see things from other people's point of view. (husband disagrees with me on this. He thinks difficult child 1 only does nice things for others because he needs something from us in return. I agreed with husband until difficult child 1 moved out of our house and I began to see positive changes in him. However, he is slipping fast - headed in a down-ward spiral. A long story. Don't want to "hog" your post!!!) In fact, at times, difficult child 1 can be very generous and caring. However, when it gets right down to it, if his medications aren't working, all of his generosity and caring fly out the window. He becomes self-absorbed to the max!!! I love Star's recommendation about having your difficult child repeat the F word over and over again, etc... I think I need to try this on difficult child 2!!! difficult child 2's verbal abuse is constant and getting more and more difficult for me to tolerate. Sending many hugs your way... Hope today is a much better day!!! SFR [/QUOTE]
