[QUOTE="ryzgal, post: 371478"] Oh thank you all! I'm sitting here after a crazy evening of all the same stuff I posted and feeling miserable and your posts helped lift me up! We tried the chore list with a time limit. Each night has been a steady routine of excuses 'i didn't know THAT had to be done' 'i didn't know you meant EVERYTHING had to be done on time' etc' this happened every night. We've been calm (er) and stuck to our guns and the original consequence despite his elevated temper and verbal abuse. Tonight was a doozy though. He wanted to go out with friends I've never met but I needed to drive. I just started a new medication (topamax) and couldn't drive. Neeedless to say, I'm now the worlds worst mom because I'm lazy and inflexible yada yada yada. I tried explaining I'm more than happy to help him schedule a day with friends another time that works with my schedule and his friends etc. But once he's in delusion mode, there's no reasoning with him! **sigh** well, we meet with psychiatrist in the am to discuss new medications and bipolar diagnosis. So I'll update tomorrow! Thanks again to everyone!!! Hugs Stac [/QUOTE]
