[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 56160, member: 1550"] Ella, I have bipolar and you are remorseful with bipolar too. VERY. I wanted to kill myself sometimes after I got into horrible arguments and said awful things to my parents because I felt so horrible about it. I wasn't one to do physical stuff to people. I would break things, but not hurt other people, but it still bothered me that I couldn't seem to control myself. I 'm not saying by any stretch that Seb has bipolar because I have no idea, but I know that with bipolar also comes extreme impulse control issues. You get furious in a matter of a nano-second and you can't help but react. At the same time, I do think even people who have disorders have to be accountable. Hopefully medications will help, once you decide which is the best medications. I am out-of-control reactive without my medication, although I can't take stimulants AT ALL. I would never, however, let him think that hitting is excusable because he has some disorder. The courts, when he gets older, will not care that he has ADHD or bipolar or anything. If he assaults somebody, he will be arrested, the same as anyone else. Do you know what husband is so afraid of? Does your hub maybe have an underlying mental illness that he refuses to acknowledge or is it somewhere on his family tree? He doesn't do Seb any favors by not allowing him to be completely evaluated. Would he read this board? I hope you can straighten things out. It took us forever to get the right diagnosis and treatment for our son, but it was so worth it. I hope he gets better soon! [/QUOTE]
