[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 430665, member: 3419"] Welcome. I agree with-the others, that this child is not deliberately being bad. Manipulative, maybe, but not bad. with-his ADHD, he is acting out things that the rest of us might consider for a moment, but never do. But because he has no impulse control, he goes ahead and does whatever he does. Have you tried weaning him off the medications and just doing one at a time, such as Adderall for the ADHD? I honestly don't see bipolar here. And I agree with-the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) ... that's going to haunt him through life and it is very difficult to deal with. Not to dissuade you ... I mean, he's yours and you will do right by him. But do not expect it to be a picnic at some magical age. He will mature at a very slow rate but changes will come. There are others here (I see MWM has posted for ex.) who will weigh in with-more info about Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE). The other problem is, of course, the lack of consistency with-the extended family. Is there any way you could get full custody? Would you want it? That way, there would be consistency in the family, in waking and sleeping times, etc. [/QUOTE]
