[QUOTE="klmno, post: 216056, member: 3699"] Thanks, EW! Unfortunately, some part of difficult child doesn't understand this. Some part of him- maybe it has something to do with cycling and that it's more accurate to say some [I]times[/I], he does understnad things. But other times, he has a tendency to do the self-destructive path. Not self-destructive like drugs (at least so far), but self-destructive in the sense that when every one else in the world can see only one rational choice that is in his best interest, he'll do the opposite. I'm not the only person to notice that- his psychiatrist and the evaluation'ing psychiatrist picked up on that too. That's part of what scares me. He acted more maturely for a few months of 5th grade than he is now, as far as pulling things together at school, being responsible at home etc. It's like he was so erratic and had been in the psychiatric hospital because I thought he was going to kill himself (intentionally or not), then a couple of months afterwards, he really changed and became so mature and responsible. Since then, he waivers from phase to phase. Thus, his diagnosis of BiPolar (BP), which is questionable and even the psychiatrists know it- we aren't 100% sure if it is true BiPolar (BP) or depression that gets to a point of difficult child losing it and basicly saying "sc**w the world". Thanks for your (and everyone else's) concern. [/QUOTE]
