[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 53265, member: 1784"] (((HUGS))) My difficult child is not as disrespectful to me, but many of the things you have said are true here, although he does not have a diagnosis of BiPolar (BP). I have the same fears, how will he function in the real world if he's not medicated? difficult child treats his sister and I with little respect or maybe a better way to put it is that he respects us when need be for him. It is a daily battle. As a toddler as well, I had things thrown at me, husband got nothing. The letting out a scream and then laughing, difficult child does that to his sister and I. I keep being told that it's because he feels safest with me and because I am not considered authority...I am far from threatening even on a bad day. I have to admit though, he has improved to some degree, as it seems yours has. I haven't had anything thrown at me in some time. I can't say I have been afraid for my physical being in awhile. I continue to tell easy child the whole "sticks and stones" saying. Ignore it, ignore it, ignore it. They feed off the reaction. As for the toilet, I wouldn't scrub it. I would let husband take over that arguement and would make difficult child clean it. I have learnt to swallow my pride sometimes and let husband deal with it. I am tired of the battles. I do truly believe that they will get better. Although maybe never perfect, I will settle for better. Maturity does a lot for anyone. I have read far to many stories on this board of success, and I will continue to believe that will happen for these kids. (((HUGS))) I hear ya! [/QUOTE]
