[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 431829, member: 3388"] Definitely a difficult topic! I don't know if this helps much but before difficult child 1 had the right dosage and combo of medications, when he was manic, he was hypersexual. He used to wear his jeans so low that his pubic hair hung over the top of them. He would use the bathroom and leave the door wide open. He also took showers and didn't bother to shut the door and would walk to his room naked. No matter how inappropriate we told him his behavior was and how uncomfortable I felt around him, he wouldn't stop. When his over the top inappropriate behavior was brought to his attention, he used to smile in this eerily weird way - Had me scared! The worst of this happened when he was 14. His psychiatrist and therapist knew about this too. However, as far as I know, he never touched anyone inappropriately or touched himself in front of anyone else. He talked to difficult child 2 and easy child/difficult child 3 using filthy language, describing what he wanted to do to a woman but that is as far as it went (or I know about). Finally, when he was given the right dose and combination of medications, all of his hypersexual behavior stopped. I'm so sorry you're going through this! You're doing what you can by letting your difficult child know how inappropriate his behavior is and by telling his psychiatrist,therapist. What advice has his psychiatrist/therapist given to you? To me, it sounds like his medications need adjusting. Sorry I'm not much help here! Just want you to know you're definitely not alone with this problem. Thinking of you ... SFR [/QUOTE]
