[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 303590, member: 7371"] Susiestar is absolutely right. Our difficult children will hold it together around friends, teachers, even the other parent, but they unleash on us because they understand that nothing will make us stop loving them, as much as we detest their behavior. I know this because I constantly feel I have a big target painted on my back. :knockedout: I tried all sorts of creative rewards, point systems, etc. and none of them ever worked. Ever. psychiatrist finally explained that difficult child is just not wired that way; things that motivate other kids will not affect him. It's a function of brain chemistry, not poor parenting. The medications will not solve the problems, but they may enable you to work with difficult child to solve them. My understanding is that bipolar (which eventually was ruled out in my son's case) is treatable and manageable, but very, very rarely without medications. Risperdal is not the only alternative. Sending hugs your way! [/QUOTE]
