[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 74900, member: 1545"] If my 12 yo child were diagnosis as BiPolar (BP) and had symptoms of depression I would pull him out of 'gifted' classes. The added stress and rigors of the academia can't be good ... especially not for a child. My hubby struggles with depression and I know there are days he can't manage a shower ... let alone sitting in a classroom where he would be required to complete mind stretching tasks. "husband says nothing during all this". Have you ever considered that his silence is a form of disapproval? Maybe he has some insights ... maybe in when calmer heads prevail you could try and pick his brain for ideas. I found that while I reacted emotionally to our daughters issues, my husband was often much more intellectual and analytical. He often had really great ideas. I just needed to listen and be willing to try something other than my agenda. "Eating is another issue I have with him so he knew better than to mess with me again". Pick your battles kjs. [/QUOTE]
