[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 195241, member: 1514"] K...Im still with Shari...what did he do besides get loud and go on a tirade? Cause I hate to break it to you but if he has bipolar, he is going to do that from time to time. I do that! I like to think I am pretty well medicated but I still go off and scream, yell, and occasionally will put the hole in my walls. (I have done a few other things that I simply wont post) ALL THIS WHILE IN THERAPY AND WHILE ON medications! I really am not sure exactly what you mean by psychoeducational help. At 13 it is going to be extremely hard for a kid to buy in to therapy. They dont want to think there is anything wrong with them. The teen years are hell to put it bluntly. I dont think that anyone is telling your son that his problems are because you smoke.
