[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 610073, member: 14865"] Hi MrMike, your son sounds a lot like our difficult child daughter who is 20 and bipolar. It is so hard to deal with, but it sounds like you are doing wise things. Our difficult child would be so sweet, then turn around and become enraged about something and kick a door in, grab a knife and threaten me, throw something & smash a window, etc. She lies " like a rug" as they say. Right now she is mad at me because I uncovered her latest huge lie-pretending she had a job and each day talking about how great the nonexistent job was. She is too lazy to work, so she does this. In case you are wondering who is putting up with this, she lives with a co-dependent boyfriend who works & pays the rent. He needs her phone and car and she is just needy-needy-needy. At first we didn't like this, but now we are thankful as she is several hours away and we don't have to sleep with a big stick under the bed, or the burglar alarm on all the time. Good luck and know that there are many of us fighting these battles. [/QUOTE]
