[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 656452, member: 18516"] You know there are many different diagnosis that can be made, sometimes they are spot on and sometimes they are just plain wrong. Even if your son is bi-polar is does not excuse his actions. Would it help explain some behaviors? Perhaps. There are plenty of people who are bi-polar, ADD, depressed, etc.... and they manage to keep their life together but it takes effort on their part, they have to be willing to accept the work it takes. So much of what your son has done sounds so much like my son. Sometimes it's the drugs and alcohol that fuel their bitterness and anger and sometimes it's just how they are. They have convinced themselves that nothing is their fault and everyone is against them. The power of our own minds is amazing, what we put in is what we live. My son chose to listen to what I call demonic music, I mean there was nothing "cheery" about it at all, to me it sounds like a bunch of demons screaming. When one chooses to put garbage in that is what they will produce. This is the same for us parents, as our thought process can become so warped by dealing with our Difficult Child. That is why it's so important for us to focus on ourselves and our well being, by doing those "little" things that matter. We have the power to change our thinking and how we process life. It would be good if your son was willing to be evaluated as only a clinical psychologist / psychiatrist will be able to determine if in fact your son has a disorder. Again, even if he does, it's no excuse for his behavior. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Keep posting. You are doing great. :grouphugg: [/QUOTE]
