Not an easy subject to talk about. I know hyper-sexuality can be a part of bipolar.
For awhile now difficult child has been touching husband and me inappropriately (psychiatrist and tdocs know this). Each and every time he touches husband or me we comment on how inappropriate it is. He always says it didn't happen or that he just "bumped" into us. This simply isn't true. We explain to him that it can be considered sexual harassment and that it needs to stop.
Until now this has been confine to husband and me. Tuesday we received an email from his afternoon school (the alternative school) that he inappropriately touched the substitute teacher. She (the regular teacher) says she knows difficult child is touchy with-o meaning anything but he needs to understand boundaries (which husband and I totally agree with, however, I'm not so sure he doesn't mean something by it-if he doesn't why does he continue to do it).
Then this morning we received an email from his morning school that difficult child has been inappropriately been touching his privates in front of others (with his jeans on). His excuse, "I have an itch".
I don't want to blow this up into something it may not be but this really has me concerned, not to mention it is extremely uncomfortable for me when he touches me (it never lasts long but still is very uncomfortable).
Any suggestions? Should I be doing something more? Should I not be as worried as I am?
