[QUOTE="karisma, post: 697576, member: 20391"] My Difficult Child is bipolar and highly intelligent. He intuitively understands extremely complex mathmatics and advanced physics, but has little common sense. How is he not able to comprehend that if he is hungry, then he needs to go to DES and get his food stamps back? Or how about how when he was a child and would constantly wake my mother up, which caused her to rage at him for a while. He would cry his eyes out and all I could do was say "then why would you wake her up knowing she will do that?".......and thousands of other examples. I actually grew up with a mother who I am now convinced was also bipolar. She would rage once or twice a day and then act like nothing happened. I always wondered if she did not recall the incident or what she thought about it. Difficult Child does same, but I'm used to it and honestly just attribute it to the illness. When I am short with someone who doesn't deserve it. I apologize fairly soon. As I'm sure most people do. Its difficult to understand the internal dialogue that must take place to be able to act so mean and just go on like it never even occurred [/QUOTE]
