[QUOTE="mammatwo, post: 317886, member: 8381"] flutterby- Borderline, not Bipolar. Oh I know. I have known her for eleven years. It's a fine line for sure but I manage. The relationship she and I have is very stable for both of us, so even given all the mayhem and chaos she (and I) have been through it seems to work out ok. I've been working on myself pretty hard the last few years and especially the last few months. We're all working on ourselves together right now...these guys are my family <3 Exactly the kind of stuff I need advice for...all I can really do is find ways to interact with him day-to-day that make it better for everyone. I've just started reading "Explosive Child" so I was looking for what to read next! :) Except for possibly time when visiting his MGM (who will give him anything he requests, seriously) he has NEVER had ice cream for breakfast. We had some last night, and I think he just wanted the sugar rush. I do think his anxiety is what triggers him, but I can't see anything external that starts it up. Like free-floating anxious feelings looking for a place to settle. Then if he doesn't get exactly what he's asked for immediately, the rages start. Thank you so much! Your words have helped a lot. I know how hard it can be to be anxious and raging as a kid that age and I really love these guys, they're the wife and kids and I'd do anything to help and make things better for us all. I wish their lives hadn't been so hard but I hope that with all the help they're getting medically and with therapy and just things being consistent for a while, it will get easier for us. Thanks everyone who responded so far!!!:happy: [/QUOTE]
