[QUOTE="Star*, post: 104644, member: 4964"] Ahhh sometimes cold water is good. I'm inclined to agree with the idea that he's manipulating - he IS a master manipulator. I'm also inclined to agree and know he has Borderline (BPD) tendencies ie: narcissistic. So we're back to mood swings. And he's a moody bugger. The house elf brought that up to me - so if anyone is spoon feeding I suspect him. on the other hand - if he THINKS difficult child is BiPolar (BP) - then why aren't they getting him to a psychiatric for medications? I had not considered that taking trial medications may cause his behaviors to become worse and do something to get him thrown back in jail - so I will bring that up to him when we speak the next time. I'm really trying to stay out of his current situation, but when they call you and say "I'm not getting the help I need" it's hard to say "Well go back to the people you live with - they know very little, have no clue, and truly don't care." I've been (i think)pretty good with my words so that he isn't dependent on me and learns to be dependent on himself. Growing up has been the best thing for him so far - that and the CBT and EMDR therapy. I guess if I had a wish about his supposed disorder it would be that he would go through therapy - talk out his problems, they would find that ONE THING that is deep rooted in his head that makes all his behaviors seem okay to him - and his life would change. Then get on with healthy, happy life. However in an effort of self preservation - I have lowered my expectations to: I hope he can find happiness, and a job to support himself so he can survive. Funny what dreams change in such a short time - Thanks all [/QUOTE]
