[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 540549, member: 1514"] Terry, the last time Cory was in the psychiatrist's office he was telling them exactly what it was like to be him growing up. For so long his impulses it was: I see it, I want it, I dont care who's it is, Im going to have it no matter what the cost to me or anyone else. And by cost he wasnt talking financial. Now after both him growing up a bit plus, as he fully admits, me pressing charges on him for theft his impulse control issues are: I see it, I think I want it, I will buy it if I have the money for it, I get home and then I am sorry that I bought it because I really didnt want it after all. It is still impulse control but instead of theft he is having a harder time budgeting money completely. Not too bad I would say. He is only 26 and changing from one huge issue to another. Im not great at budgeting either and I think it does go with bipolar. In Cory's teen years he had zero impulse control and we were constantly on him like white on rice. You didnt turn your back on him or he would do something he shouldnt do. He stole puppy collars from a grocery store one time and we didnt even have any small dogs! [/QUOTE]
