[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 324947, member: 805"] We definately understand how the stress of living with a difficult child can bring havoc to a household and affect everyone in different and negative ways. If your son is only taking medications for adhd, but has a diagnosis of odd, BiPolar (BP) and anxiety, it's apparent that he is not stable. The adhd medications could be contributing to his aggressive behavior. At 14, we do want our kids to have some sort of say and responsibility for their issues. After all, we are trying to raise our children to survive, get along and succeed without us. However, BiPolar (BP) is a diagnosis that requires stabilization before you can make any progress. Does he see a therapist or psychiatrist regularly? It is not unusual for a kid to have trouble at home and not at school or visa-versa. Perhaps you need to keep a journal of his behavior at home - what is setting him off, what time of the day, how often, etc., to see if there is a pattern. Perhaps keep your video camera or phone handy so that when it escalates, you can film it. It would be a good help to the doctor and might also be an eye opener for your son. I'm sorry that your husband has reached his limit. Sharon [/QUOTE]
