[QUOTE="wheredidmylittleguygo, post: 40042, member: 3182"] RM - Thank you for the insight. I wonder if that isn't what my difficult child is feeling. Putting into perspective the events that lead up to the most outrageous behavior. I lost my apt & we had to move away from all of his neighborhood friends. Then a month later his dad lost his place. He had to change schools and because of his behavior he was eventually expelled so now he had no friends at home or school. It must have been really lonely for him, aside from feeling totally out of control. We have the grade issues too. Perhaps when he comes home I can try this. difficult child is certainly stuck in the rebellion now. He must feel like he can't give in or he'll lose everything. Funny thing is he's lost his freedom, his home & friends temporarily as he cannot visit them. What else is there to lose. Yes, I think it's time both he and I get out of victim mode & get on with our lives. I hate to see him waste so much time & energy on rebelling. He could be in sports right now, playing after school and on weekends. He could be gearing up for a big bike ride his boy scout troop is doing in June. He's missing out on a lot of good stuff. Totoro - Maybe no is the trigger for him. He certainly can't stand hearing it. I guess my only concern is that I've seen him totally calm down & change gears if he gets his way in the middle of a rage. I'm not sure a BiPolar (BP) kid could do that, can they? [/QUOTE]
