[QUOTE="CCRidr2, post: 44318, member: 3714"] Shelia, Great article! husband is a man that had blinders on when it came to anything being "wrong" with his kids. We did (we thought) rule out all other causes, until recently. The problem came in when I was going through some papers a couple months ago when we moved. They were papers given to husband by his mother in law when he married his DEX so that he could understand her "condition". She didn't mention the diagnosis of BiPolar (BP). He never read them and thought her "problems" were because of her parents being too controlling. [img]:hammer:[/img] Never heard that it's the parents fault before, have we? Admittedly, I didn't know until recently that kids could even have BiPolar (BP). I thought it was an exclusively adult condition. DUH! Now we are faced with reality! The article is absolutely correct when it says parents are scared to hear anything other than ADHD, I am shaking in my boots!!!! I have come to realize that our difficult child is on a roller coaster (emotionally) but he can't get off the ride! Now as I see it, we have a DUTY to correct our ignorance and help our baby. My 2 cents! [img]:smile:[/img] Cyndi [/QUOTE]
