[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 353165, member: 1514"] Believer, Sorry I am coming in late to this. Been a busy time for me...whew! I have no idea what works with each kid or each person with issues. In my home there were lots of different issues going on! I have bipolar, borderline personality disorder and a host of physical disabilities. My oldest son has some learning disabilities and is somewhere on the very high end of functioning on the Aspie scale. My middle son is ADHD and then there is my youngest son who is bipolar and some personality disorder that no one can figure out. I do pretty well with the mental issues on any given day, on any given hour. I have gone through years of therapy and psychiatric care to get my medications adjusted. I just started new medications this week. Its always a work in progress. I never know what the next week, month, year will bring. My oldest son seems to be doing well. It took him till last year to learn to drive because of deep seated anxiety. He now works full time and has started dating. We joke about how he has now become a late teen...lol. He was the easiest kid to parent though. He would do exactly what you told him to do. I guess that should have been a red flag. My middle son was constantly on the go as a kid. Hyper was his middle name. He had no real behavioral problems other than typical kid stuff. Still he drove me batty and kept me on my toes! He did well though and went into the Marines and now is married with 2 kids and works as an Animal Control Officer. Works for him. My youngest is the biggest problem. Nothing worked with parenting him. You didnt parent him. You tried to contain him. He knows it now. He is so sorry for what he did to us. He doesnt live with us anymore and the real world bites him frequently. I love him fiercely. He is so much like me it is scary. He just wont listen to me often but he is starting to more and more. Maybe one day he will get it. I hope so. [/QUOTE]
