[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 182104, member: 3444"] Terry, I just want to say we've had lingerie problems in our house too. For several months last year, difficult child 1 was taking my bra and panites and his dad caught him wearing them under his clothes at one point. Now, as far as we know, difficult child 1 is NOT bipolar, but he definitely has ADHD and he definitely has anxiety issues. I don't think he's done this in a while. We do have a family member whom I would characterize as hypersexual with some obsessive behaviors that perhaps further support my suspicion of bipolar or mood disorder at the very least. This person's moods were directly linked to whether or not they were able to act on their obsession -- like an addiction of sorts. They've never sought therapy for it, but they are on a mood stabilizer which seems to have taken the edge off things to the point that it doesn't seem to be an all-consuming issue. I guess my point here is to say I'd definitely hit this issue hard and fast because in my opinion, once patterns become set, it is VERY, VERY difficult to change wiring. I think whether your difficult child is ADHD or BiPolar (BP), both disorders can play into the kind of behaviors you're seeing. Hang in there, warrior mom! Polish up the armor and dust off that sword... [/QUOTE]
