[QUOTE="Jeppy, post: 299695, member: 7564"] Thank you all for your support. When he turns 16 I will hold him responsible for most of his clothing since at that age he can get a job readily. Also, at that age if he says I won't go to school since I don't have new clothes it doesn't matter since he can legally drop out. Right now I am struggling to keep him in attendance. It is very hard for me to know if it is just brattiness or something that requires hospitalization when he gets out of control. His father is paranoid schizophrenic and has bipolar disorder. So to the extent those are genetic disorders, difficult child might have or get them. The psychiatrist said at this point we can't tell if difficult child's behaviors are pre-schizophrenia or something else. therapist says she can't tell either; I guess in some cases it can only be diagnosed in hindsight.
