[QUOTE="momof3boys, post: 28210, member: 2819"] I just wanted to add my support. I don't really have any advice. But reading your message gave me a stomache ache because I've been there and remember how that feels. Its soooo hard. I'm really really sorry. On a positive note, my little guy is now doing much better (he's now 5yo), and we haven't had any phone calls home from school all this year. I know that our guys have different things going on, and that ADHD is much easier to treat than Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP), but I just wanted to let you know that its POSSIBLE for things to turn around. I remember those dreaded calls from the preschool director, and sitting on pins and needles the entire time he was at school waiting to hear what horrible thing he had done last year. Its a new year, with medications that work for him, and we don't get those calls any more. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how bad I feel for your situation, and I hope and pray that things get better for you. I also wanted to add that my brother in law is BiPolar (BP), and he had a lot of similar issues as your son as a kid. He's now in his 40's and doing great. He's on medications that really work for him, he's teaching at a prestigous (I can't spell to save my life) private school, is married to a wonderful woman, has 3 great young kids, and is very, very happy. He didn't figure out that he had BiPolar (BP) until he was an adult. So, he had a very rough time growing up. Your son is so lucky that he has a mom who figured this out at such a young age. Your guy has an even better chance than my brother in law did. Again, I hope that things get better for you soon. [/QUOTE]
