[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 361129, member: 1233"] It sounds like you have a LOT to handle with him, a little one and a new marriage. First I would make having some one on one time with your husband every week a priority. Time where you do NOT talk about difficult child and his problems or anything in relation to him. If it is the same time each week difficult child will make SURE to cause a problem at that time or use it to get into stuff. Lock up whatever you don't want him to get into or break. Esp medications. Has he been drug tested? It may play a role. I would problem but a lock on the little one's door so that when you are not home and the little one isn't in there, difficult child cannot get into there just to mess up her things. Your little one deserves to have her own stuff and have difficult child not mess with them or destroy them. I am NOT saying she has much he wants. But if he gets some whim it is not out of the realm of possibility that he would take or trash her stuff, esp if he thinks she told you something he said not to. The mood disorder diagnosis does not surprise me, esp with the determination to get porn. Now most teens, esp boys, go through a period of time where they are interested in porn. Your difficult child takes it to a whole new level. Does he have a psychiatrist at home? I would ask to have him put on a mood stabilizer. These are the first line drugs for bipolar and mood disorders. Welbutrin is an antidepressant. If difficult child is not "simply" depressed, the welbutrin will likely cause his moods to cycle more and it will make the hypersexuality and other things worse. There may be an improvement for the first little while, but chances are that it will start to create more problems than it fixes. Now hopefully proper treatment for bipolar will help a whole lot. There are chances that the stealing, lying, etc... truly are signs of conduct disorder. I thought you had to be 18 to get that diagnosis, but this may have changed with the new version of the DSM (manual psychiatrists use to diagnose). I am sorry things are so rough. I would read the files from DSS that you have requested, taking any statements difficult child made with a whole pillar of salt. Remember the way he lies to you, he lies about you that way most likely. And most likely he did so about his mom and stepdad. {{{{hugs}}}}} s [/QUOTE]
