[QUOTE="Hopeful30, post: 616196, member: 17520"] Hi and thank you for your response and I appreciate you reading my post. Yes, I do believe my son is bipolar, it just took me a long time to accept it. I kept making excuses and saying..but...but...but., whether just to myself or others. He was diagnosed at 12 (disaster when he was hospitalized for threatening to jump off the roof at school - 9/11 time period) and was put on risperdal and produced the 'fine line' reactions which they called seizures, but were actually body spasms. I took him to University of Chicago and they proved he did not have seizures. He was then again diagnosed at 16/17 while I had him in a private outpatient rehab for drinking and smoking pot. He took medications for a little while but I was never able to control him. He would run to his girlfriends or father's house (his father is probably bipolar as well) and I had no control. Life has been bumpy since. He left home senior year of high school, March of '08, quit school that April, got married in May...lived at his fathers and came home in June father's day weekend at about 12:30am one night with blood all over his shirt. His father punched him in the face and broke his nose in two places....I had sent him to the hospital. That was the same day my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. He was good at home for a while and helped his stepdad and me a lot but it went back and forth. While we were in Vegas, a couple of weeks before my husband passed (which was a last trip dream for him), my son through a huge party at our house and items were missing from the walls.
