[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 574735, member: 14356"] Suzir - Yes, he does sound bipolar and I can really relate to the behavioural descriptions of other people on here when they talk about their difficult child's who have bipolar. It saddens me that if he is bipolar that this is something he'll have to live with for the rest of his life. Insane - You are so right. Part of the problem with mental illness is that it is difficult to have insight into what you need (ie. medications). Unfortunately, it's my understanding that many people with mental illness will go off their medications many times during their life because they feel they don't need them anymore. Sigh. I really hope it is just immaturity and he'll grow out of it but some of his behaviour is just incomprehensible to me. This is not a kid who grew up in difficult circumstances or an abusive household. That said there is a history of difficult child's in my mothers family. Out of 10 kids there are 6 full blown difficult child's (alcoholics, drug addicts, abusers) and then a couple more that function but are difficult people to deal with. I always thought it was their life circumstances that turned them into difficult child's but now I am not so sure. [/QUOTE]
