Hi and thanks Chris and Linda- Yes my son was dx by a pdoc and is struggling ( we have moved since then). He does very well at school but at home the anger and rage has taken him over. He has become so violent that he has physically hurt his younger siblings. I can't allow this. It is so painful to watch such a bright boy so full of promise fight with himself so much. I know how he feels. When he is manic he is hilarious to those around him, and he literally exhausts himself with chatter. When he is in a rage he is very hard to reach and is violent. It is hard to live with both for himself and for us. I am hoping to find a middle ground that will hopefully keep him out of the childrens psych wards. I can raise him now at eight but I cannot see raising him at 12 or even 16. Something has to change.-Cynthia
