[QUOTE="wheredidmylittleguygo, post: 41978, member: 3182"] Wow, Thank you all for the responses. I'm so sorry this took longer than expected to get back with you. The input is amazing. I'm leaning towards him NOT being BiPolar (BP), of course my opinion doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the eyes of the doctor. So many people commented on a complete inability to stop the rages. Someone asked what the payoff for the rage was because they felt so bad when raging. I'm not sure my difficult child feels bad. He's very direct in his threats and rages. Give me this or I'll kick in your windows, then when he's not given into, he breaks the windows. Some of the rages are anger over being punished but I remain convinced that if I shouted over him during one of these fits and told him he was no longer in trouble he would immediately calm down. Some of the other things that stick out to me was the comment on control over ones life. I think my difficult child feels totally and completely helpless in his situation. Even though he's the one and only person who can change it. I really like the idea of making the school work his responsibility. I won't hound him about it and if he does the work, great. If not, they offer the 8th grade every year at his school. I'm sure I'm forgetting something while I type this but I've been run ragged lately. [/QUOTE]
