all the time...maybe as a fly on the wall, he would never believe the way difficult child acts toward me. I know I tell him and he says he gets it, but truly, he has no clue, even after 11 years of it. If difficult child were to act toward him, the way he does to me, I really believe he would hurt him. Please don't go off on the "anger" needs to be addressed, etc. It's just me mouthing off and I've a need to vent. difficult child ACTS HORRIBLY! He'll walk into the room and let out a blood-curdling scream, then laugh about it. He torments the dogs till I have to lock them up. I tell him he's not taking TWO baseball hats to summer school, he stuffs one of them into his backpack, anyway. He walks past the kitchen sink and spits in it, just so I will have to disinfect it. He deliberately urinates on the back of the toilet, so that I have to get on my hands and knees to clean up where he splashed it on the floor (and laughs about it). He cannot talk (to me) in a normal voice, he shouts every word.
I come here often with the same complaints. I keep waiting for his behavior to improve, but it never does. Once his medications kick in, he's alot better, but really, how is he ever going to function in the real world when he acts the way he does when unmedicated? Yes, I work his medication mostly around his school day, but for fear of what will happen to him if he were to behave in school the way he behaves toward me. His medications are extended release, but even at that, throughout the day, he may be better for eight hours of it. That's not much. His diagnosis isn't BiPolar (BP) yet, but I think it's coming. Who cares, he's taking the proper medications....so what do these humans do as adults? As adults do they behave like this? NO one would ever want to marry a man like my son. NO one should have to take that kind of abuse. I dunno, I don't get it. I'm so tired of doing this every single day. I get alone time...one of the main reasons he goes to summer school, but I dread the hour he's to be home again. It starts all over again.
Adults, with BiPolar (BP), please respond. Were you like this as a child? At what age will it start improving? As a toddler he threw things at me...now he throws words at me. *Sigh*
