[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 264995, member: 3184"] I think smallworld hit the nail on the head. I have seen this with both husband and difficult child. When difficult child's medications are off, he does not care about his homework, or pretty much anything. When the medications are good, all I do is ask him if he has homework, and he is on it. With husband it gets bigger. Before medications, he could not keep an appointment. He would most likely miss it, or be so late they would refuse to see him. Did he care that he was putting all of those people out? Nope. It was all about him. What about drinking? In his eyes he couldn't drink too much, the rules did not apply to him. Now you would think that after 4 or 5 DUII's he would have learned, but it was not untill he was medicated that he can control his drinking. I think he was self medicating with the alcohol. One thing that I see as important with husband is it is important to break the cycle. His medications are not good, but they are good enough that he can make good (or better) decisions and function fairly well. husband has been tweaking medications for over a year, and we have not found the match yet, but he has been close enough to be more stable than he was in the past. Good luck with difficult child 2. I see a major problem with some is that they don't see anything wrong, and therefore don't want help. It is hard or impossible to get someone to get help if they don't realize it. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
