[QUOTE="klmno, post: 184579, member: 3699"] Thanks, Steely & Sharon! This evening turned out like this- difficult child came back from his walk with O. I guess they had a chat about teen issues and she told difficult child that she had been through some of the stuff he's dealing with now (this is stuff about kids at day camp giving him a hard time- not mental health major stuff or legal trouble). Then, while all the kids and a couple of parents were still outside, the ice cream truck was heard going through the neighborhood, and all the kids wanted him to come down our street. difficult child had no money because he spent it on his field trip, but he rode his bike off our street to try to get the ice cream truck to come to the cul-de-sac. Eventually, the truck came and the 7 yo's dad (not one of THE mom's kids, but a different one), bought difficult child an ice cream because he told difficult child he knew he tried to get the truck here for the other kids. And the 10 yo boy's mom patted difficult child on the back and told him she knew he tried. So, difficult child came in pretty happy and "bragging" about how some people on the street liked him and knew that he tried. I was happy for him, of course, but worry how this could end up. So, maybe this is an ice-breaker of sorts. If a couple of parents are ok and giving him a little chance and the 15 yo tells her Mom that he isn't so bad, maybe it will help soften the blow. but, how do I tell people that my son might be BiPolar (BP) and he has times when he needs to be watched and watched out for, but that he isn't that way all the time? When he is, I get him to a psychiatric hospital or take measures to keep everyone safe. I like the idea of hanging out more around them all. I have been sitting on the porch to keep an eye out- they see me there, I'm sure. [/QUOTE]
